Dog That Shoplifted a Book on ‘Abandonment’ is Given the Love It Was Asking For

Instead of being disciplined for his misdeeds, this unlikely shoplifter is being given more love and attention than ever before.

Last year, a stray dog was caught on camera sneaking into the Feevale University bookshop in Novo Hamburgo, Brazil. After managing to get past the front desk, the pup can be seen grabbing a book in its mouth and trotting out of the store.

But it wasn’t just any book – it was a book entitled “The Days of Abandonment”; a pretty relatable topic for stray animals.

Before the dog had a chance to read the pages, however, one of the campus students retrieved the book and gave it to the astonished cashier who was working the front desk.

The bookshop staff was so tickled by the sneaky dog, they posted a video of the heist to Facebook where it later went viral.

As fate would have it, a group of local animal rescuers saw the video, stopped by the bookshop, and checked the dog into their care.

The dog was given a bath, vaccinations, and a foster home following its rescue.
