Lone Pooch Shoplifts Bone!

It seems that even our pooches may be aware of the difficult economy these days. Last week, according to an item published by the associated press, a capricious canine pulled off a daring shoplifting caper at a supermarket in a Salt Lake City suburb.

It is possible that he may have been casing out the joint on earlier visits to the store since he knew exactly where the item of his interest was located.

Unfortunately he was caught on a surveillance video snatching a rawhide dog bone toy valued at $2.79. He made a hasty escape out the door.

I wonder if he was thinking, "To the victor belong the spoils". I also wonder if his owner is aware of his canine pal's brazen behavior, what he will do about it and if his doggie may find himself ending up on "America's Most Wanted"

Watch the incredible video of the feature on KSL-TV uploaded to YouTube, by SwimmingPolarBear which clearly demonstrates the purloining pooch's behavior.

While I am in no way condoning canine thievery, at the same time I must admit that there is a part of me totally motivated to cheer him on.

What is your reaction to this dog's demeanor? Leave a comment and let us know.
