Dogs are quite clever and adaptable animals. And for one bakery owner, Maria de Fátima, one sneaky pooch had become quite adept at stealing bread. The theft was captured on the bakery’s surveillance camera and shows just how smart the pup was at pulling off the caper.

The dog was recorded on video scouting out the targeted bakery. First, he walks up to the storefront and peers inside, checking to see what the owner was up to. Seeing that Maria was busy helping a customer, the dog then takes his chance and quickly hurries inside to grab a loaf of bread off the bakery shelf before dashing away.

Maria’s bakery is located in Marilândia, in the interior of Espírito Santo. Maria has explained that this isn’t the first time the dog has stolen from her. In fact, she shared that this “canine miscreant” has actually been making it a regular habit spanning a whole year! She’s lost count of how many loaves of bread she’s lost to the sneaky dog.

Maria said to the Brazilian news outlet G1 Globo, “We put the bread on a table next to the door, to do a promotion. Then this dog comes and steals the bread on the table. The first time was last year, and we have lost count of how many times he has come here to steal the loaves.”

She added that the first time the dog stole from her he actually went across the road to the opposite side of the bakery in order to eat his stolen prize. And he has been trying every chance he gets to come back for more. She stated that they try their best to keep an eye out for him, but he’s gotten very good at his sneak attacks in which he grabs his bread and runs off.
