Dogs can be intentionally mischievous at times, and we’ve all seen that guilty look on their faces after misbehaving. Often, it seems like they’re trying to charm us into letting them off the hook, particularly when those irresistible puppy eyes are involved. But one family from South Carolina was in for quite the surprise when their dog pulled a stunt at PetSmart they certainly didn’t see coming!
What Did He Take?!
While shopping with Teddy at PetSmart, his owner was taken aback to discover that Teddy had grabbed a toy—a full-on dog-toy heist! His dad, realizing he had to return to pay for the toy, was met with the classic puppy eyes from Teddy, who seemed to hope he could keep it.
Despite his dad’s best efforts to retrieve the toy, Teddy was having none of it, staying stubborn with the plush in his mouth. After some consideration, Teddy’s dad decided to just remove the tag and proceed inside the store. Clearly, Teddy was not just being playful; he seemed to think his dad had intended for him to pick out a toy!
Hilarious Reactions Online
After the amusing event, Teddy’s dad shared the amusing video on his Instagram and TikTok pages, and it quickly went viral. Viewers flooded the comments with their reactions, many of which were downright funny.
One user exclaimed, “The guilty look he has is so damn adorable.” That look is precisely why we often concede to our dogs’ demands, as they know how to manipulate us with those enchanting puppy eyes.
Another commented, “One time when Potter was a puppy, he just helped himself to the snack bar and the shop owners just laughed and said it’s okay for his first offense, lol.”
Many people noted that it’s certainly not unusual for pet owners to be forgiving during a pet’s first offense in a shop, as it’s likely that store owners have experienced similar scenarios before. Others humorously mentioned that Teddy must have thought he was given permission to pick a toy for being a good boy, which adds to the hilarity of it all.
In a world where laughter is often needed, this entertaining video serves as a reminder of the joy our dogs bring into our lives and the lengths we’ll go to indulge them, including purchasing all their desired toys. Teddy is indeed fortunate to be a part of such a caring family.
