It’s that time of the year again. That’s right – it’s time to hide your Thanksgiving turkey before your four-legged friend finds it first.
Despairing dog owners in the US have been shaming their greedy pooches on social media with signs detailing their crimes.
In one photo, a hungry Rottweiler is shamed after taking a sizeable chunk out of a turkey while it was being roasted over a fire.
In another, a brazen mutt called Scotty is seen cowering beneath a blanket next to a sign reading: ‘I ate all the leftover turkey, peed on the bathroom mat and pooped in the living room. Definitely a black Friday for my mom and dad.’
And a very guilty-looking pooch uses his best puppy dog eyes to get his owner to forgive him for licking the turkey.
Others could only gaze in wonder at the feast laid out before them as they desperately tried to come up with a plan.
But I was so hungry! This pooch is using his best puppy dog eyes to make his owner forgive him
