In Socastee, South Carolina, a Mischievous Pooch Faces ‘Paw-lice’ Action for Treat Heist
In a tail-wagging turn of events, a daring dog in Socastee, South Carolina, found itself on the wrong side of the law this week. The furry felon, identified as a local canine named Barkley, was ‘arrested’ outside a Walgreens after allegedly making off with a bag of dog treats.
Eyewitnesses report that Barkley sauntered into the store with a wag in his tail and mischief in his eyes. After a few moments of sniffing around, he made his move, grabbing a bag of gourmet dog treats and bolting for the door. The store manager, caught between laughter and disbelief, called the local authorities.
Responding to the scene, Socastee police officers couldn’t resist a chuckle as they found Barkley sitting outside the store, treat bag proudly in mouth. “We’ve seen some unusual shoplifters,” chuckled Officer Woofson, “but Barkley takes the biscuit.”
The police, showing a soft spot for the four-legged treat thief, decided against pressing charges. Instead, they gave Barkley a ‘stern warning’ and a pat on the head, much to the amusement of onlookers.
