I adopted my 3 year old greyhound german shepherd mix about three months ago from the pound. She's a great dog, usually well mannered but she has a peculiar habit of stealing things when I'm gone.
She likes to steal my shoes, she doesn't chew them or anything, she just takes them and lays with them.
She also will steal more random items if left on the counter tops like bread, coffee, sugar, whatever. She doesn't make an attempt to open it, or snack on it, she just takes it and hides it somewhere.
When I find that she's taken something I point at it and tell her "no" and she knows she did wrong because she will have her tail between her legs and slink off.
She only does it when I'm not home, I've never caught her in the act.
Has anyone ever heard of a dog doing this before???
