In a quirky case of late-night mischief, a California local’s home security footage revealed an unlikely culprit behind a string of peculiar “thefts.” Surprisingly, it was not the usual raccoon or street thug that one would anticipate, but rather, the household’s lovable Golden Retriever who was caught in a TikTok video to be the “thief” dog guilty of smuggling clothes out into the yard under the cover of night.

Dogs are popular stars of social media platforms, often owing to their silly, funny, and adorable exploits captured on film by amused and proud owners. As the Californian Golden Retriever joins the hall of fame of the “silly dogs of the internet,” it re-emphasizes the old saying: “dogs will indeed be dogs.” It seems their knack for unexpected mischief is just one more reason why they remain man’s best friend.
