Let’s be honest — we love it when our beloved pets surprise us with their bizarre shenanigans. Whether it’s cats squeezing into the smallest places, dogs sleep-barking and twitching, or mice spinning their wheel like it’s no tomorrow — we can’t help but laugh and grab our phones hoping to snap a quick photo.
However, our adorable four-legged friends tend to act all innocent and holy to our faces, but as soon as we turn our gaze, they're back to their mischievous ways. And if there’s one sly behavior that certainly catches our attention, it’s when they steal our delicious bites right under our noses.
Just take a look at how dogs, cats, and even elephants and lizards tried to sneakily grab food off the counter, yet got caught red-pawed right in the act. Scroll down to see a compilation of pictures that vividly illustrate how pet owners never get bored and upvote the ones you enjoyed most!
Psst! If looking through this list made you hungry for more, make sure to check out our previous posts right here, here, and here.

So cute! But I hope you're aware that there are some ingredients dogs shouldn't eat, like avocados, onions, garlic, too much cheese, tomatoes, paprika,...
Marlowe Fitzpatrik 3 years ago
I doubt this is a real sandwich. Not that a dog (a Retriever especially) wouldn't be able to hold it without swallowing it whole, but because it wouldn't look as neat as it does if a dog was holding it in this way. Something would fall out. (Also, dogs can eat red and yellow paprika as long as you remove everything green and the stem and seeds. Not as a main food, but they won't drop dead. Avocado, though, is really dangerous)

To learn more about our pets and their desire to steal food, Bored Panda reached out to Kate Mornement Ph.D., who goes by the handle @petbehaviourist on Instagram. She is a qualified animal behaviorist based in Melbourne and the founder of Pets Behaving Badly. She consults pet owners and people working professionally with animals and helps them better understand these adorable creatures living under human care.
"In Psychology, food is classified as a Primary Reinforcer because it's essential for all animals' survival," she explained why some pets are famous for being food stealers. "This means that our pets innately find food reinforcing (rewarding), and they are hard-wired to seek food out, even food that's not for them!"

"Some pets may be more food motivated than others and more likely to steal food. Also, pets who have successfully stolen food and enjoyed eating it in the past are more likely to repeat the behavior in the future," Kate added.
For example, Labradors are generally very food motivated. Kate noted that many of them exhibit behaviors such as food stealing or counter surfing. "Even though Labradors are known to be the 'foodies' of the canine world, any dog can exhibit food-stealing behavior. Some examples of food-stealing I've come across are dogs eating a whole bag of dog food, a freshly cooked roast chicken, a container of butter, and even freshly baked cupcakes!"

My Cat Got Into His Food Cupboard While I Was At Work, Stole All The Food Packets One By One, Then Hid Them In The Dryer
And then continued to open every single of of them! Found him having the time of his life inside there surrounded by food.
Thee8thsense 3 years ago (edited)
My Siberian Husky was a rascal who broke into a biscuit box and had hidden them in an old bathrobe I had given him to be cozy with. I originally thought he had simply eaten them all, but soon discovered that each time I would attempt to discipline him, he'd run and grab a biscuit and proceed to sit in front of me and chow it down. Took me awhile to find his stash, because clearly, he was smarter than I.

I haven't yet met a Labrador/Retriever based dog that wasn't an ace food thief. It's locked into their genome and evolution has meant that they are now very, very good at it. In our house it's called "counter surfing".
Rannveig Ess 3 years ago
She stacked them like a puffin stacks fish they catch. Very perfect use of space to maximize area. Impressive!
While pet owners might become furious seeing their home-cooked meals getting blatantly destroyed, the feelings soften after a while. And for the viewers, witnessing such animal actions is certainly entertaining. According to Kate, there are a few reasons why people find food-stealing cute and amusing.
"Firstly, I think it's funny because dogs are choosing to eat human food," she explained. "Second, it's not a behavior they tend to do when we're around, so they learn to get sneaky when it comes to stealing food. Thirdly, it can be a shock to find that our pet has eaten a whole bag of pet food or your roast chicken, so rather than get angry, I think some of us laugh it off."

Load More Replies... However, sometimes swiping those tasty bites off the counter can pose real threats to your pet's health. "It's important to note, though, that food-stealing can be dangerous for pets because some foods are toxic and can make them sick. It's best to contact your vet if you suspect your pet has eaten something they shouldn't have."
We were curious to learn whether these little goofballs try to tell us something with their sneaky behaviors and the never-ending snack grabbing. "I think that when pets steal food, they're acting on their impulses and eating something they want and have access to, rather than it being a deliberate act to upset us," the animal behaviorist told us.
"However, if you find your pet is constantly trying to steal food and appears hungry all the time, you might want to discuss this with your vet to ensure they're getting enough food each day," she added.

Pupper Has Been Bringing Us Eggs Everyday That She Steals From The Wild Chickens

Maybe you should stop her, if you want wild chickens around she will destroy the local chicken population.

Wouldn't wild chicken eggs be fertilized? I've cracked open one of those, and got a bowl full of blood and a mini fetus. It was horrible. Couldn't eat eggs again for years.
Cold Contagious 3 years ago
All of the eggs wouldn't be a problem but if it was taking them from a nest that was being sat on actively by a hen, then yes, they would be in danger of getting embryos in those eggs. That was my first thought when it mentioned wild chickens as well. Unless they know where the eggs are being laid and how fresh it is, I wouldn't touch it.

Luckily, Kate assured us that it's indeed possible to train your pet not to steal food. "To do this, firstly ensure you're providing a species-appropriate high quality and nutritious diet for your pet. Try to avoid leaving food unattended in areas your pet can access."
When it comes to mealtimes, teach your pet to stay in a specific location and feed them high-value treats for staying there. "With time and repetition, your pet will learn that it's more reinforcing to stay in that place than it is to try to steal food," she said. "Avoid feeding your pet from the table or when you're eating a meal or a snack. The only time they get food should be at their mealtime or during a training session."

Kate wanted to remind you that some pets tend to be more inclined than others to steal food. "If your pet has stolen food before, take a cautious approach and avoid leaving human food out that might tempt them when you're not there. If your pet succeeds in stealing food every now and again, that's called 'intermittent reinforcement' which tends to maintain the food-stealing behavior over time," she concluded.

Some breeds have very large ears and as they cover the ear all the time dogs get ear infections so the vet advises to cut the part that bends Over the ear itself...if it would stop ear infections for me i would cut mine to cause they hurt as hell...

Guess Who Did This?
Rosemary Probert 3 years ago
Chocolate is poisonous to dogs, the higher the cocoa content the more dangerous it is. Having said that, we learned quickly not to put chocolate decorations on our Christmas tree. The year we got our first dog it ate all the ones it could reach. It was working out how to get the rest when we came into the room.

Chocolate is highly toxic (poisonous) to dogs! Call your vet or veterinary poison control if ingested!

I adopted a beautiful 2 year old Am.Fox Hound, named her JAZZ. The first day we had her she grabbed the big roast chicken we were having for dinner. Scolded her and she never did that again. But she'd throw her dish at us if we were 2 minutes late with her dinner. Yes … we ate the roast chicken it was not damaged, we wiped it all off throughly and enjoyed it... while JAZZ watched. We gave her a few boneless bites. Chicken bones are dangerous for dogs.

My guess is they think if it's good enough for you, it must be worth eating. But be careful, not all food we eat is safe for our pets. Some is actually toxic and can lead to organ failure and death.
