My golden retriever stole a whole pizza off the counter today

I turned my back for 30 seconds to grab a drink and he had the whole large pepperoni pizza on the living room carpet, eating it slice by slice. The worst part was he looked so guilty but kept eating anyway. Has anyone else had a dog pull off a heist like this?

Oh man, that's rough but I gotta say, dogs don't actually feel guilt the way we do. That look you're calling guilty is more like them reacting to your upset tone and body language. They're just reading the room, not feeling bad about the pizza. In my experience with my own lab mix, that "guilty" face is really just them being confused or a little worried because you're mad. So don't feel too bad, your pup probably thought he found a lucky pizza buffet on the floor and didn't understand why you were grumpy about it.

My old dog once ate a WHOLE birthday cake off the counter and just wagged his tail about it.

Ha! Well, in my experience that tail wag might've been pure bliss, not remorse. Did your dog actually look sorry afterward, or was he just giving you that happy "best day ever" face?
