This is the hilarious moment a clever German Shepherd dog opened a cupboard and stole a bag of treats.

The footage, captured by Nicola McLaughlin in Donegal, Ireland, on April 20, shows her seven-month-old dog Hunter taking just a few seconds to complete his raid.

The crafty pooch first grasps the cupboard handle in his teeth to pull the door slightly open, before pushing it wider with his snout.

He then shoves his head inside to grab a bag of treats, which he carries off.

Captioning the video: ‘If she won’t get me a treat then I’ll get them myself…’, the footage has received more than 850,000 views and 55,000 likes on TikTok.

Nicola has posted several videos of Hunter misbehaving,  including him removing wallpaper and barking at Channing Tatum’s new film Dog.

She said it was the second time Hunter had raided the cupboard, adding: ‘The treats have since had to be moved to a higher cabinet that he can’t reach.’ 

Nicola added: ‘He steals everything from the counter tops!’

She said the dog would steal towels, food – ‘anything he can get his paws on’ but the theft of the treats ‘was the first time he managed to get something that hadn’t been left out.’

Commenting on the TikTok, one user said: ‘They are so intelligent. Mine opens the window and doors to go out. We have to lock everything when we go out.’ 

Another added: ‘You are going to get through a lot of cupboard handles.’ A third commented: ‘Smart pup.’

One asked: ‘Why are they put in a bottom cupboard?’ with Nicola responding, ‘We soon learnt our lesson on that one.’

And Hunter isn’t the only thieving German Shepherd.
