A dog is supposed to be man’s best friend - but instead of protecting his own home, a golden retriever became a partner in crime when he smooched up to a thief stealing from the pet’s family home.
Last month in San Diego, a thief entered a property with an open garage around 10.40pm.
The alleged thief saw a number of bikes and picked one to take off on. But he paused once he saw the golden retriever approach him.
It looked like the thief had second thoughts on stealing the bike, and started to walk this getaway transport back into the garage.
In a bizarre turn of events, surveillance footage from the home caught the man telling the dog he was the coolest and a sweetheart before he called out for the retriever’s owner.
