If you're a dog owner you know the first rule of doggo owning is to never leave food unattended! However, we are just humans after all, and sometimes things slip our minds…and then food "slips" into our doggos mouths'. Despite our conscious efforts to be alert and attentive, we ain't perfect ad our imperfections result in some super delicious meals for our mischievous pups.

Today we came across a delightfully silly Reddi thread where dog owners came together to bond over their doggos' pet store thievery, and the results are awwdorably hilarious. Who knew we had so many thieves amongst us! These adorable little thieves simply can not help themselves. imagine the type of sensory overload that doggos experience when walking into a pet store! It's like us humans walking into our favorite store…we can not help but get excited. The difference is that most of the time we humans know how to control our excitement, some doggos can't and we would not have it any other way.

    Font - Today my dog Luna and I went to the pet store to get some treats and a toy because her favorite human, my husband, is out of town this weekend. While I was talking to the saleswoman about a giveaway they were doing, Luna stole a treat from their bulk treats section! The woman kindly pointed it out and said it happens all the time, but I was so embarrassed and offered to pay for the treat she ate (which they declined). Then after I paid for my stuff and we were walking out, LUNA DID IT AGA

    Font - Fcck_it 18 hr. ago When I worked at a common large pet store it literally happens all the time, they KNOW and account for it happening (otherwise they wouldn't put them on bottom shelf) the only time we ever had a real problem with it would be when someone would come in and just let/encourage their dog to gorge on the treats and not even pretend to be ashamed/embarrassed/apologetic about it .

    Font - DarienStegosaur 13 hr. ago they KNOW and account for it happening Seems like an obvious marketing tactic. "These are so good, your dog broke the law for them. I guess you need to buy 1000."

    Font - Catfish_Mudcat. 12 hr. ago Yep, I've worked in the pet industry for awhile and they're there on purpose. It creates a positive experience we all laugh about and the customer also buys more of them. Everyone goes home happy

    Organism - DamnItCasey 17 hr. ago The ONLY time my dog has willingly left the pet store was when he tried to steal not one, but three fish skin treats when I wasn't paying attention. I then noticed his mouth was bulging and he was tugging me towards the door to make a clean getaway. The staff laughed and I paid for the treats, but I'm pretty sure the little shit's going to try this again in the future.

    Font - Wolf-Pack85 17 hr. ago Mine does this all the time. I swear he only likes going cuz he knows he'll get treats. He tries to be sneaky. Side eye looking at me, gets it in his mouth and won't chew, but clamps his mouth super tight. He's ridiculous. They never care. If they did, they wouldn't put treats on the bottom shelf.

    Font - issiautng 17 hr. ago . My dog will very gently lift a pig ear or something similar off the shelf and then look at me like "we can leave now, I've made my selection." One time he did it WHILE an employee was petting him! I apologized for his thievery and put it back (it was shrink wrapped), but she thought it was hilarious.

    Font - cfyre082315. 17 hr. ago My pitty Zeus once walked out of the pet store one with a stuffed toy. It was a squirrel if I remember correctly. Anyways went to pay for our stuff and walked out. It wasn't until we're almost at the car I noticed what he had done. Walked back into the store and paid for it, apologized. The employees thought it was hilarious.
