20 Hilariously Naughty Pets Who Were Definitely Caught Red-Pawed

Pets are notorious for getting into trouble the moment you stop watching them.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve left food on the table, went into another room for a couple minutes, then came back to find an empty plate and a very guilty yet satisfied-looking golden retriever. Unlike my dog, however, these animals weren’t able to finish their naughty deeds before getting busted by their owners.

If you have pets of your own, you’ll definitely relate to these 20 people who caught their furry little friends in the act.

1. “Now I’m gonna have to kill you, puny human.”

BUSTED!

2. “This isn’t what it looks like, I swear!”

3. “I’ve been finding thumb tacks in my shoes lately and I couldn’t figure out which cat was doing it. Needless to say, the door to my office will be remaining closed from now on.”
