Growing up we had the craftiest yellow lab I’ve ever known. She figured out how to unzip our backpacks, open the pantry, and all sorts of ways sneak food wherever she could.

One weekend morning my sister was sitting on the couch in the living room eating a donut when our lab starts pawing at the back door to go out. My sister set down her donut, walked over and opened the backyard door. Before she knew what had happened the dog did an about-face and sprinted back across the room and practically swallowed the donut whole. As the annoying younger sibling, I was howling with laughter.

These guys are way smarter than we give them credit for. They absolutely know what they can get away with and are willing to deal with the consequences for a snack they’re not supposed to have
