Dogs are wonderful companions, but they can also be quite naughty at times. Catching a dog in the act of something bad can actually be quite hilarious.
It’s like they know they’ve been caught, and their default is to pretend that they weren’t actually committing the crime.
In Lodi, New Jersey, one adorable pooch thought that he was being clever covering his tracks, but in reality, he was just making for a great viral video.

However, that didn’t stop him. But what did stop him, was the sound of his owner opening up the porch door.
