Shoplifting dog snags treat, makes getaway

A dog in Murray, Utah walked into a supermarket on Christmas day, snagged a rawhide bone from the dog food aisle and calmly walked out — bone in mouth — despite the store’s manager order to “Drop it.”

The suspect, caught on a surveillance camera, appears to be a Siberian Husky.

The surveillance tape shows the dog arriving, sniffing a young girl near the cash registers, then wandering to Aisle 16, where the pet food is kept.

Store manager Roger Adamson confronted the dog as he headed for the exit with a $2.79 rawhide bone that he had not paid for.

“I said, ‘drop it!’” Adamson recalled. The dog didn’t obey. “I decided I wanted to keep all my fingers, so I didn’t try to take it from him.”

The dog is apparently still at large.
