#WATWB Stray Dog Steals Stuffed Unicorn from a Store

Published on by

It’s that time of the month again, the last Friday of the month where a group of writers share an article about something good going on around the world to deflect from negativity for the We are the World Blogfest, #WATWB.

 

Well, it seems this little stray dog had an attraction to a stuffed unicorn that he was determined not to leave behind – no matter if legal or not!

 

Stray dog kept stealing a stuffed unicorn from a store, so animal control bought it for him

 

Thieves are usually apprehended by the police. But for this four-legged shoplifter, the authorities had to make an exception.

A big stray dog couldn’t keep his mouth and paws away from a stuffed purple unicorn at the Dollar General store in Kenansville, North Carolina. And since he had no owner to buy it for him, the pup had to resort to “illegal” methods.

Every time a customer exited, the dog would dart into the store and go straight into the toy aisle to grab it. The Lab mix kept going back inside to steal the same stuffed purple unicorn, doing it on five different occasions!

It was evident that he really wanted that unicorn. But business is business, so a Dollar General store employee was forced to lock their door and ask help from the Duplin County Animal Control to take the thieving dog away.

But the pup ended up getting what he wanted after all. Samantha Lane—the officer who responded to the store’s call—purchased the $10 stuffed toy for him!

A simple thing to make someone happy. I’m glad that officer had the compassion to give the stray, lonely dog something to be happy about!

  11. This is the sweetest story Debby and a wonderful outcome of being adopted. No doubt the purple unicorn he was so desperate to have, reminded him of the days when he was happy in his former home. A big lesson. Thanks for this lovely post. Big smile on my side 🙂

  14. I can always count on you and Susan Scott to brighten my end-of-month with cheery news. Of course, the dog deserved the unicorn, apparently a soul-mate.

    Huge hugs as you continue the daunt task of moving, which you will get through in time. I can’t say that for your journey through grief. I recall the relentless ache losing 3 relatives from 2014-2018. You are not alone in this “long haul.” My prayers and loving thoughts are with you!
