Oscar the short-haired German Pointer shown on CCTV shown leaving the scene of the crime
It has always been an act that has been looked down upon in any retail community. But in New Zealand, one DOG has managed to get away by not only stealing food but by stealing the hearts of many supporters!
The log of sausage dog food that made Oscar a star
Oscar is not just your normal shoplifting dog! He is a 10 year-old short-haired German Pointer with three legs who is believed to have escaped while his owner was on holiday, has come to this grocery mart in the city of Invercargill to nab a sausage of dog food!Supermarket owner Esmay Hay was able to joke about the incident when referring to the three-legged pointer wasn't the average shoplifter: “They're usually of the two-legged kind.”
Adding that Ms. Hay suspected Oscar being a repeat offender: “We've noticed movement on the security cameras out the back, and there's been nobody here, so we're assuming now that Oscar may have paid us a visit before.”
Oscar awaits for his owner to claim him or a growing number of supporters are willing to give him a home
Since news of Oscar's stunt, Ms Hay's daughter who had posted Oscar on Facebook has been bombarded with numerous inquiries about giving him a new home, but until then, Invercargill City Council official, John Youngsun said that Oscar would remain at the pound until his owner reclaimed him.VIDEO: Watch the CCTV footage of Oscar caught on tape shoplifting sausage dog food
