This dog had its willpower tested to the limit after its owner left a plate of french fries unguarded on a table.
The hilarious 30-second video shows a black Labrador staring intently at its owner's dinner as she busies herself in the kitchen in the background.
And the pet seems to be resisting the temptation to steal the grub - until the owner walks out of the room.
When her back is turned, the sneaky dog creeps forward and takes a single fry off her plate, before making a swift getaway.
It's not known where in the world the video was taken.

We had a Gordon Setter and she liked French Fries but just the Frozen ones ,LOL
“My dog also goes nuts for bread. I can’t put grocery bags down on the floor if they have bread in it because she will zero in on the bag and try to run away with it.”
I can keep our dog happy for hours with an empty plastic soda bottle.
My pets are cheap dates.
“It’s all on tape? B!tch set me up!”
Hilarious.
You really see the Lab’s soft mouth perfectly. The gentleness used to just hold the very end of the fry and lift it off the table.
Obvious set up, which is why she left the camera in the perfect spot but too funny anyway.
Dogs hate to get in trouble. They will just drool over that plate of fries forever, begging for one but not touch it. Then the moment you turn your back and they think they have an opportunity... POOF! Fry be gone.
It also freaks them out when you catch them misbehaving when your back is turned. I used to use a mirror to train my dog to still behave with my back turned. You turn away and watch the dog in the mirror. Then when he would violate at rule, I would say “Ranger, NO!”, and he would be flummoxed how I could possibly have watched him with my back turned.
We had a cat/ dog team. I left some steaks on the counter. The cat got up, dropped one to the dog then sat on the counter and ate the other.
Since when do Brits call ‘em fries?
Is this another linguistic conquest by our side?
Ping
The dog has more manners than most people. Can you imagine Jerry Nadler not scarfing those up in one fell swoop?
We had a black lab that looked like this one.
One night I had made a hamburger for my dinner. The back door was open because it was cool out and the dog liked to go in and out and I was tired of opening and closing the door for her.
In the far corner of the back yard a neighbor’s pine tree hung over the wall and created a little cave in that corner. The dog started furiously barking at the corner so I went to see why. Since it was dark I came back in to get a flashlight and went back to investigate.
I didn’t see anything so I came back in. When I sat down to eat I realized that my burger was gone. The dog had eaten my burger while I was outside!
To this day, my husband swears that she did it deliberately.
Giant Airedale watched me sideways, lower eyelids extra saggy to imply innocence, as he s-l-o-w-l-y pushed his open mouth down over and down the length of a wax paper wrapped stack of graham crackers until his lips brushed the plate, at which point, still watching me sideways and resisting the urge to wag, he tried to saunter off REAL natural like.
Ha, love Airedales.
I saw this. It was so funny.
My son had a Teruven. Beautiful, intelligent, loyal dog. She finally had to be put down in her old age, due to her suffering in severe pain and losing her ability to walk. Being childless, it was agonizing for him to have her put down.
And the camera just happened to be right there, focused on just the dog and the fries.
My departed doberman would steal, but she had an acute sense of guilt. If she’d done something wrong while we were out—like getting to the garbage—she’d put on an exaggerated display of being glad to see us, but would avoid eye contact and head for the door to be let out. She did this so often that it became her ‘tell’ and we’d know there was a mess somewhere.
One time, we came and she was really putting on an act. Lying on the floor, tail stump wagging, no eye-contact. We looked everywhere for what she’d gotten into—but nothing. Came back to her “What have you done?” Tail still wagging, still avoiding eye contact, looked guilty as hell, but of what? Then I noticed that her dog tag had gotten snagged in a loop of carpet. The carpet had trapped her.
Our little (guffaw!) Shi Tzu lives to eat. She sits silently in front of us, and follows each bite, with her eyes, as it travels from plate to mouth, and back again, over and over. If we make eye contact with her, she pleads with us with those great big eyes, with her mouth set just so, in breathless anticipation of us tossing her a morsel. So polite. Except if we drop a crumb, she’s on it in a flash, and our other little dog, doesn’t have a snowball’s chance. She inhales it before he can even discern where it has dropped.
Lol. I’ve probably told this here before, but we had a border collie once, who jumped the fence and ran off. I stood in the front yard, calling her name, when she came galloping back, with a huge steak, which she had obviously grabbed off someone’s grill, dangling from her mouth. My son, at my command, grabbed the steak, and threw it in a nearby garbage can. I waited outside for a few minutes, to see if anyone came down the street from the direction from which she ran, as I was fully prepared to pay for the steak, but no one appeared. Must have driven them nuts wondering where that steak went.
Our cat was playing with a plastic grocery bag the other day, and had gotten her head into the handles, at which time she sailed off the couch, ran across the floor, and, as if she were superman, lept up on the dining table, grocery bag cape flying behind her. Maybe we should just keep a video camera running 24/7.
My dog is part Shi Tzu and does the same thing. I have activated charcoal on hand in case she flies in to snatch something off the floor when I am cooking that might be dangerous to her.
You could get a lot of views on that kind of video.
