Have you ever had a pair of socks go missing in your sleep? No, the washing machine didn't eat them this time, it was probably your golden retriever. Ours has a pupticular pension for socks, shoes, and rolls of toilet paper. Why? Your guess is as good as ours, but they love it. They love to sneak off and take them to their bed to hide them from us (or rip them to pieces). But the goofy golden in this story had their eyes on something else, something much more expensive than socks or toilet paper…

It was none other than their hooman's phone! Perhaps they were trying to order more treats on the DL, maybe they wanted some uninterrupted YouTube time watching their furvorite show (squirrels), or maybe they just like to play tricks on their unsuspecting pawrent. However, they made one fatal mistake due to their lack of thumbs - they couldn't open the lock screen and ended up accidentally sending their hooman a trail of silly selfies for them to wake up to. Scroll down to see them all below!

    merlyndavis I think he found your phone. He is now trying to figure out how to unlock it so he can order treats.

  • We couldn't even get mad if we found these as a result of our dog stealing our phones. A little worried, sure, but mad? How can you get mad at that awwdorably goofy face? We certainly can't.

    TeleHo Man, why doesn't my pup find my phone when I lose it? Your girl is clearly much better at this whole "retriver" gig than my guy.

    SufficientCoyote873 I have a good one too! When we first started leaving ours uncrated we left a camera plugged in so that we could check on her. One day when we were out, we got this.

    Heads up. Your Kitchen camera i is offline. It disconnected at 12:58 PM. It might be because of an electric outage, someone unplugging the camera or a bad internet connection. Here's the last thing your camera saw.

  • We do wonder what was going on in their heads as they were doing this. Did they just want to see what all the fuss was about - why their hooman stares at this little metal box all day? Or maybe they were trying to order more treatos…
