For thousands of years, the ancestors of dogs hunted and scrounged for food. They would quickly seize and gobble whatever they could find, for fear of losing a tasty morsel to another animal.
Today's domesticated dogs rarely have to scavenge for their meals, but the instinct is still deeply ingrained.
This often makes it difficult for dogs to keep themselves from snatching food off tables and countertops, and from young children.
And this adorable, naughty schnauzer is no exception! He sneakily steals potato chips (fries?) off of a plate.
And it's interesting how this pooch chooses to steal only one at a time! That is a polite thief, if you ask me! My dog would have the plate on the ground and chomped in seconds flat, lol.
You just can't get mad at that face though… and it shows Schnauzer superiority by only eating off a Portmerion Plate. 🙂
Check out the video on the next page for a good giggle!

Our schauzer pinched our smoked salmon right under our noses when we were preparing breakfast once. We couldn’t work where we’d put it until we saw the plate – the evidence was a bit of slobber and dog hair left on the plate!

I wish I’d known this post was coming up. I just deleted a picture of my schnauzer on the dash of my car trying to get my dinner.

I had left a steak dinner, barbecue ribs and how many other things within reach and Alice never touched them. Mom’s peanut butter sandwich? Gone before Mom could turn around! Picky little girl.

Oh yes, one Christmas dinner years ago my mini schnauzer ate almost all the ham and turkey off the table (separate dining room, couldn’t see him) before we had the rest of the food on it. Might have been a feast at the time but boy was he sick later.

Our little guy won’t touch food unless it hits the floor. He even chases the cat away if he comes close to where the food is.

Our Mini went for food on the table 1 time. He was yelled at, nothing more, and has not tried to steal again. He’s a VERY well behaved dog.

That is not stealing. It is just what he considers his share.

We had one do that to plate full of chips. We noticed a corner of the pile had vanished and he was under the table happily munching.

Schnauzers are thieves. First they steal your food, then they steal your bed and finally they steal your heart. We love our little thief to death!
