Owner hooks up camera, catches dog being naughty

What would you do if you came into the kitchen time and again to find the refrigerator standing wide open and food strewn over the floor? You might think you accidentally left it open, or you might blame someone else in your household.
But what if you thought that someone else was your dog who was doing it? Radio host Adam Montiel knew Allie, his 12-year-old Yellow Labrador Retriever, was the culprit, but just how was she opening those doors? He decided to hook up a camera and see.

Montiel’s girlfriend had taught Allie to open a drawer where the dog toys were kept. Little did they know that Allie would transfer that knowledge to another venue…one where she hit the jackpot!
After making sure the coast is clear, Allie starts out by raiding the trash can. After all, humans throw away perfectly delightful yummies all the time.
After enjoying her snack, Allie comes back for more, but this time, she’s going for the big prize.
Her trick of using her mouth on the hinges is pure genius! No one taught her that—she figured it out on her own.
Each time she scores a treat, she carries it out of the room to eat it…
...and then returns for more.
Manipulating the freezer drawer that gets in the way, Allie opens both sides of the refrigerator to scope out what she’d like for dessert.
There’s just one problem with Allie’s sneaky between-meal snacking. She leaves evidence all over the kitchen!
Watch the video,and you’ll be laughing out loud. What a smart dog! Next time you decide to teach your old dog a new trick, try thinking like a dog so you’ll be prepared!
