Thanksgiving is all about family, gratitude and, of course, food. But it was also a chance for naughty Goldendoodle to test his skills as a master pie thief. When Michelle Beuclair walked into her room and saw her granddaughter destroyed, all evidence pointed to a hairy suspect. Now the dog’s guilt—or lack thereof—has become the Internet’s favorite holiday mystery.
The Great Pumpkin Pie Caper (Goldendoodle)
It started without issue: a perfect pumpkin sitting on the counter, ready to delight the Thanksgiving crowd. But in an unexpected turn of events, Michelle disappeared in her kitchen. And who were lurking nearby? Nothing happened like her Goldendoodle, who walked casually out of the kitchen.
The situation was suspicious and hilarious. “The suspect thought they should try the pie first,” Michelle joked in the now-viral video. And while he didn’t catch the event on camera, yesterday’s inexperienced walk from the crime scene made it feel like an open-and-shut case.
Online searchers Weigh In
Social media couldn’t get enough of the cheeky pup’s antics. The comments flow with playful theories about his motivations.
“He said, ‘I had to make sure it wasn’t poisoned, you’re welcome!’”
“The way he walks away like, ‘What’s done is done.’”
“He’s not sorry. In fact, he looks proud!”
With his adorable face and unapologetic demeanor, this Goldendoodle has officially earned his title as the internet’s favorite Thanksgiving troublemaker.
Can Dogs Eat Thanksgiving Foods Like Pumpkin Pie?
While this pie-thieving story is all in good fun, it raises an important question: can dogs safely eat human holiday foods? The short answer is yes—but with strict limitations.
Here’s a quick guide to keeping your pup safe this holiday season:
Safe Thanksgiving Treats for Dogs:
Plain Turkey: Unseasoned, skinless, and boneless turkey is a great protein-packed treat for your dog.
Pumpkin (Without Added Sugar): Plain, cooked pumpkin can support healthy digestion and is often included in dog food.
Boiled Potatoes: Plain, unsalted boiled potatoes are safe for dogs but avoid butter or cream.
Foods to Avoid:
Pumpkin Pie: While plain pumpkin is safe, the sugar, spices, and additives in pie filling can upset your dog’s stomach.
Seasoned Foods: Garlic, onions, and spices are toxic to dogs and should be strictly avoided.
Desserts: Chocolate, sugar, and artificial sweeteners like xylitol are dangerous for pets.
If you’re unsure about sharing holiday treats, consult your vet for personalized advice.
A Lesson in Holiday Prep
This Goldendoodle’s escapade is a reminder for pet parents everywhere: always secure your food, especially during the holidays. Curious pups can’t resist the smells of turkey, pie, and stuffing wafting through the house. Keep desserts and other tempting dishes out of reach, and consider giving your furry friend a dog-friendly treat to keep them busy.
