Dogs are infamous for being troublemakers, especially when the prize waiting for them is food. Their high energy levels and constant need to be fed are two recipes for a minor kitchen disaster. Just ask Michelle Anderson!
Michelle Anderson is the mom of Candy and Spike, two dogs who love eating almost everything. She described Candy as a cautious pup around people and would often take a long time before being friendly- unless the person had food for her. The moment that she finishes eating off of someone’s hand is the moment that she stops being close to them.
The endearing puppy will do anything- yes, even a bit of troublemaking- to get her paws on some snacks.
As Anderson arrived home one day, she noticed that the siblings were waiting for her by the window. Upon closer look, she realized that something was covering Candy’s whole face, immediately wondering what the dog had eaten at this time.
When she finally stepped into their home, Candy’s innocent yet messy face greeted her, and a bag of flour had been opened and had gotten everywhere. Indeed, the dog felt guilty, but she acted as if she had no idea who or what had caused the mess. Anderson wasn’t tricked, though- Candy’s face was the epitome of guilt at the time.
Here is the video of Candy getting caught in the middle of her troublemaking scheme.
Anderson knew that Candy was the only one who ripped the flour bag open in hopes of having some food. After all, Spike looked much cleaner than his sister and did not sport a guilty look.
Deciding not to get mad and scold the innocent-looking puppy, Anderson also realized that leaving the flour bag out may have been her fault in the first place. Had she not done so, maybe Candy wouldn’t have been tempted to try and eat the powdery substance.
All was forgotten in a fit of laughing and cleaning up, and Anderson knew that having Candy’s face covered in flour was enough punishment for being a naughty dog.
