Adorable Pet Thieves Who Got Caught Stealing By Their Owners (They’re Too Cute, We Can’t Stay Mad)
It's a universal rule: leave food within reach of your pets, and it's not going to stay there for long. While they shouldn’t be eating it, the temptation is often too much to resist. More often than not, their sneaky attempts get caught in the act.
These pet owners were quick enough to capture their furry friends in action, snapping photos of the hilarious moment. Keep reading to see some dogs and cats who thought they could steal snacks—and got caught red-handed!
Right Out Of The Picnic Basket
This sneaky dachshund decided to help herself to a strawberry right from her owner's picnic basket. No one even knew she had a taste for fruit—she's always been more of a meat lover!
Reaching Out
This cat has her eyes locked on her owner's banana muffin, and she's so determined to get a bite that she's ready to take matters into her own paws if he doesn't share!
It's Still On The Plate
Some dogs are daring enough to snatch food right off your plate, but this one took it a step further by swiping the entire thing. Maybe he thought the paper plate was part of the snack, or perhaps he just couldn't figure out how to grab the pretzel without it!
Stuck Between A Fridge And A Microwave
This cat was caught red-pawed in the act of sneaking into the fridge or pantry. She was clearly on a mission, lured by the irresistible scent of smoked salmon wafting from the refrigerator. All she wanted was just a little taste!
He Stole A Potato
We're not entirely sure what this cat intends to do with a whole potato, but he definitely seems to have a plan. With a determined look on his face, it’s clear he's on a mission and ready to take that potato somewhere—whether it makes sense or not!
He Brought Nachos
This dog got out of his house and returned with a plate of unopened nachos. We have no idea where he got the nachos from, but somebody is missing a plate of chips right now.
Somebody Got Into The Bread
These people couldn't figure out why their bread had little bites taken out of it, and then they came across this clue. Do you think maybe it was the cat?
He Stole From The Neighbors
Reddit user lovewhatreallymatters posted this photo of her dog online along with the caption, "Just want to apologize to any of our neighbors who are missing a full rack of ribs."
Jam And Then A Nap
Somehow, this little corgi puppy got into a vat of strawberry jam. She then ate all of the jam and collapsed on the floor. Now it looks like she's a victim at a crime scene.
Sharing Is Caring
This dog thinks that her owner should always share his food with her, especially when that food is pepperoni pizza. She wants to eat that slice Lady and the Tramp style.
He Wants Cheese
This amateur photographer managed to capture a very professional picture of his cat hoping to steal a block of Parmesan cheese. The cat was ultimately unsuccessful. Maybe next time he'll get the cheese.
Her Whole Dinner
This dog's owner had just sat down for dinner. She took one bite of her chicken breast, turned around, and when she turned back towards her plate, her dinner was gone.
He Loves Chicken Nuggets
This kitten really has a thing for chicken nuggets. Once he gets his paws on one, he's never letting go. This guy is not getting that chicken nugget back without a fight.
Stuck In A Box
This collie was determined to get at those Apple Cinnamon Cheerios. Unfortunately for him, the sweet cereal came at a heavy price. Now he needs help getting out of this mess.
Busted
This dog got busted with the ramen she stole from the pantry still clenched in her teeth. She knows she got caught in the act. Now she's frozen in fear.
The Banana Thief
This husky likes to steal bananas from his owner's kitchen. He doesn't eat the bananas. He just steals them and carries them around. Maybe he thinks that they're toys or something.
All For Corn Muffins
This cat absolutely loves corn muffins. He loves them so much that he had a smile on his face when he was caught nibbling on them. He doesn't care if he got caught. It was worth it.
Inching Closer
If you give a cat an inch, he'll take a mile. This cat kept inching closer to the pizza bagel on his owner's plate. Eventually, he managed to sink his claws into it.
Covered In The Evidence
There's no denying that this dog got into the baked goods. We're not sure if that's flour or powdered sugar all over his face, but he definitely ate something that he wasn't supposed to eat.
Drop it
This cat's owner was enjoying a gorgeous bowl of ramen when her cat took it upon himself to steal one of her ramen eggs. He still won't put it down.
Creating A Diversion
This dog barked wildly at the front door to create a diversion. When her owner walked to the door, she took the opportunity to go into the kitchen and steal this slice of pizza.
A Thief And A Vandal
Not only did this cat steal a bun from the dining room table, but he also went and put that bun in his owner's slipper. Now that's a whole new level of mischief-making.
Check For Cat Arm
It's nice that this cat has owners who care very much about his little arm not getting caught in the refrigerator door. Maybe he should stop putting it through the crack, though.
Stuck In A Pringles Can
This dog was trying to eat the last few crumbs out of this Pringles can when he got his nose stuck. Now he needs help freeing himself. This is what happens when you steal.
Who Got Into The Catnip?
Somebody went on something of a catnip bender. Now, this little kitty is totally zonked. Hopefully, he can tolerate the pounds of catnip that he ingested and rolled around in.
Through The Plastic
This cat tried to run off with his owner's lunch. The only problem was that the lunch was wrapped in some kind of impenetrable plastic. He would have gotten away with it—if it weren't for that meddling bag.
A Cauliflower Cat
All this cat wanted was a piece of cauliflower. Is that too much to ask? If you don't give her one, she's going to take it upon herself to get one all on her own.
