Trash-Digging Pup Pleads the Fifth After Getting Caught

​No stranger to the third-degree investigation tactics, this pup stuck to the script and deflected his hooman’s questioning by keeping mum and acting like nothing happened at all. Must’ve been a burglar then, eh?

Although it’s unclear if this canine managed to escape unscathed, it is clear that this Oscar-worthy performance deserves some recognition from the Academy.
