Dogs make lousy crooks. This is one of their great virtues. Other species....well, cats are just plain sneaky. It's no accident that we associate them with misdeeds (Cat Burglars) and dogs with the opposite (Watch Dogs).
But dogs are not perfect. That's actually another virtue. If they were just a bit more faithful, loyal and selfless we'd be uncomfortable having them around our imperfect selves.
But dogs, despite not being Driven from the Garden, are still capable of minor sins.
You put something on the counter that is just a little too tasty, just a little too close to the edge, and you stay away just long enough that they can persuade themselves that you've forgotten about that morsel, and, well...
Hank the Dog has another misdemeanor that he can't resist. He likes to hop up on beds. It's a combination of nice and cushy, plus it smells like his owners. One of his owners disapproves mildly, the other, seriously.
But he can get up and down so quietly. So its not always easy to tell he's been up there. Enter modern technology.
Guest bedroom. Recently slept in by visiting family members that the dog adores. Looks fine, no?
But lets just take a peek with the thermal imaging scope you see laying on the bed. A suspiciously dog temperature spot right in the middle!
Busted! But how could a dog this cute, this innocent be trying to scam me?
