It's that time of the year again. That's right - it's time to hide your Thanksgiving turkey before your four-legged friend finds it first.
Despairing dog owners in the US have been shaming their greedy pooches on social media with signs detailing their crimes.
In one photo, a hungry Rottweiler is shamed after taking a sizeable chunk out of a turkey while it was being roasted over a fire.
In another, a brazen mutt called Scotty is seen cowering beneath a blanket next to a sign reading: 'I ate all the leftover turkey, peed on the bathroom mat and pooped in the living room. Definitely a black Friday for my mom and dad.'
And a very guilty-looking pooch uses his best puppy dog eyes to get his owner to forgive him for licking the turkey.

You are VERY well trained. Congratulations to the Lab. He’d get along great with my dogs.
My bride and I invited friends over for our first dinner party. She put the steaks in the oven and baked them. Didn’t look appetizing, but tasted ok.
Do you still tease her about it?
I never had the heart to.
LOL
That second picture of the black/white springer eating the turkey reminds us of our brown/white springer who did love turkey. He was a master at finding ways to get some of the bird.
I’ve always wanted a springer. Are they as wonderful as they look?
Adorable. :D
My mom and dad had a miniature poodle who was one of the most worthless dogs to walk the earth, but dad had a soft spot for underdogs (literal and figurative). That dog never did give up trying to cadge forbidden "people food," and was called "the vulture" (or "el vulturo") when seen sitting there with head lowered and eyes fixed on the "carcass."
"The Vulture" did manage to drag a turkey off the kitchen counter one year after Thanksgiving dinner was over and we weren't paying attention. There was a lot of growling and cussing following the discovery... some of it from the dog, who was anything but repentant.
Mr. niteowl77
yes cat uses the litter box on cold brutal maine winter days
Knew some people that had a bird dog mix that would come home on numerous holidays with whole cooked hams or turkeys.
that’s alright she was successful at training you...
:)
Too true.
Maybe its a poodle thing...mine is part poodle part Shitz zhu
she waits and watches like some kind of Vulture..ready to swoop in when something falls on the floor
We had this old cocker spaniel who had only one eye and she was pretty much blind in that eye. Her only talent was that she could smell ham a mile away. Anytime we had ham in the fridge she would sit in front of it and bark until we gave her some.
She was the best dog ever (don’t tell the current dog).
It’s hard enough for us humans to get through the day with the smell of roasting turkey or ham, waiting for Thanksgiving dinner with only the Detroit Lions for a distraction. I can only imagine how the poor dogs must feel.
Geez! You guys all need CATS!
Mine is half bichon and half shih tzu. He can smell out food from behind a door and up the stairs! He is also the king of the starving puppy dog eyes. He is a few pounds over-weight so trying, but he is king here. His big thing is paper. Toilet paper, kleenex, paper towels, napkins, whatever. He will sneak it and eat it. smh
