Husky gets caught stealing bones and treats from store in double-dash

?w=650&h=483&crop=1#038;h=652
A crafty canine has been causing a bit of stir in one town after it is alleged to have gone on a shoplifting spree for treats.

Cato the husky casually strolled up the Dollar General store in Clinton, South Carolina, and entered the doors with other customers.

But little did the store owners know that the stealthy pooch had actually come to make off with pig ears, beef bones, dog food and treats.

Noticing that some goods were missing, store manager Anastasia Polson had a look over the CCTV and was surprised to see that the perpetrator was slightly more hirsute than she’d expected.

He was in and out – and then back in and out again – within a five-minute thieving period, and buried his treasures nearby.

‘We had to lock the door to keep him from coming back in,’ she told Fox Carolina.

Cato’s owner Holly Darden said police admitted it was their best arrest ever, while also denying that the dog is not fed.

‘Look at him, he’s fat. Yes! I feed him. There’s food in there. There’s treats in there,’ she said.

Police filed a mock report and the dog is now back at home. The store did not want to press charges

It was they that for cut food stamps. The dog is just planning ahead for when it's human can't afford food. Doggie Doomsday Preppers. It explains all these dogs stealing food. They have a sixth sense. Might be an earthquake ... nah I still blame republicans.

well except he wouldn't have buried anything, he just inhaled food. He never got over his first family not feeding him. He was always concerned that he wouldn't get his next meal. Every time we gave him a treat, we had to remind him to be gentle lest he take a chunk of your finger with the dog cookie.

Our malamute once got out and a few hours later we got a call from the local Mexican restaurant asking if we had forgotten our dog there. Apparently he had spent several hours on their deck begging for food.

I decorated my front porch. I found white wicker furniture and bought seat cushions and throw pillows. One morning I went out and a seat cushion and two throw pillows were missing. It was very uncomfortable thinking that someone trudged up the hill to my house and onto my front porch and stole those pillows.

I set up our driveway alarm on our front porch and at about 1:00 am it went off. I ran to the front door and threw it open and there stood our neighbors Labrador......back for another round of pillow stealing.

It's a good thing Cato only got collared for a minor beef. Just don't mention 'chop shop' around him...
