Golden Retriever Puppy Thinks She's A Master Thief — Until You See Her Stained Mouth

Golden retrievers are notoriously food-motivated, apt to steal any unattended ham sandwich or stick of butter they're lucky enough to stumble upon. Or, sometimes, blueberries. In a funny TikTok video with overlaid text reading "I wonder who ate the blueberries but it's definitely not the pup with the blueberry mustache," Kona the golden retriever puppy gazes innocently at the camera, unaware (or simply unconcerned) that her blueberry-stained muzzle has revealed the truth of her otherwise cunning berry-snatching caper. The video has been watched more than 734,000 times and racked up over 173,000 likes, mainly from viewers ready to swear in court that no crime has been committed.

"My client is patently innocent of these outrageous accusations and will answer no more questions," declared one netizen, and another commented, "All I can see is the sweetest little baby face that I want to smush that absolutely does not smell like blueberries 🥰." Kona is clearly one of the many golden retriever puppies who are too pure for this world. One person wrote, tongue planted firmly in cheek, "I hate these unsolvable mysteries."

As far as stolen snacks go, fresh or frozen blueberries are a healthy one for dogs. These tantalizing treats are high in fiber, low in calories, and pleasing to the palate because of their natural sugars; plus, they contain an abundance of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. However, too many of these sweet treats can sometimes cause a dog to experience gas or diarrhea, and care needs to be taken so that small dogs don't choke on the berries.

Some netizens demanded to see more proof of Kona's supposed crime, with one person writing, "How do you know those are blueberry stains? You got a mobile science kit in the garage or something? 🤔🤔 😂😂" Another came up with an alternate theory: "Pretty sure I heard a breaking news story about a massive blueberry theft heist around. That's the reason I'm sure."
