4.They Were Wondering Where the Peanut Butter Went and Then...
In this classic story of canine mischief and failed dishonesty, we find a fantastic illustration of why dogs make horrible crooks but great entertainers. If one important piece of evidence had not been present, the riddle of the missing peanut butter might have been unresolved. The offender's own face is that key. Though canines have honed their art of the innocent "puppy dog eyes," a manipulation method over thousands of years of domestication, this particular pup neglected to consider the pretty clear peanut butter moustache covering their snout. Though extensive, the inquiry hardly called for sophisticated forensic methods since the evidence was rather literally written all over the suspect's face. This mix of the clear physical evidence and the guilty party's claimed innocence produces an especially funny situation that aptly captures the open character of canine misbehaviour. Usually as is the case in such domestic events, the offender's endearing attempt at appearing blameless combined with their obvious guilt usually results in a lenient sentence, usually involving nothing more than a stern look and perhaps a gentle reminder about appropriate peanut butter procurement techniques.
