50 Hilarious Times Pets Didn’t Get Away With Stealing Food (New Pics)
It doesn't matter if you own a big hound or a fluffy little tabby, you know how persuasive animals can be when they smell a tasty snack. From wagging tails to piercing gazes, they have plenty of weapons at their disposal to convince us to give them a bite.
And if all fails, some are determined enough to try out the last option — stealing!
We at Bored Panda put together a new collection of amusing photographic evidence, showcasing shameless pet thieves in the middle of their crimes. I wonder what excuse they would give to a judge.
Continue scrolling to check out the images and don't miss the chat we had with Alison Schramel, CPDT-KA Animal Behavior and Training Manager for one of the leading animal welfare organizations in the US, Animal Humane Society (AHS).

What do you think ?

Gosh, my cat is such a goody two-shoes, she never tries to steal food! Only if you leave a plate with some leftover sauce she might try to lick it, but even then usually after giving you a look and a chirrup first to ask permission.

The only things my cats will try to steal is freshly roasted chicken and seafood , especially prawns and cod

People may think it's cute and funny when their pet "steals" their food but human food is terrible for them. In addition to the high sugar and fat content a lot of it contains garlic and onion in powder form as part of the spice blend. Garlic and onion are toxic to pets! You might get lucky once or twice but you're harming your animal and shortening its life!

I know all the Allium family are toxic to dogs but are they also poisonous to cats or any other pets?
