The video shows the treat thief pup sneakily chewing on something. Text overlay on the video reads, “My dog stole a treat right off the shelf…I tried to explain to him that stealing is illegal.” A caption that accompanies the video reads, “I got framed!”

His human tries to get the Golden Retriever to return the treat that he stole. However, he refuses! He looks away from his mom’s outstretched hand as though he has done nothing wrong. 

Viewers loved the treat thief Golden Retriever. Several people shared instances when their dogs had done similar things. Others shared that they have had to set strict rules to ensure that their dogs don’t do the same thing. One user wrote, “My dog isn’t allowed in the pet store. He would hoover everything he could reach.”
