Dogs? Well, not so much.

1. This dog was just trying to help clean up!

13. Be on the lookout!

This dynamic team is wanted in 6 cases of Christmas stocking theft, defacement of private property, candy cane theft and other petty crimes. If you have any information on these crimes please come forward. They are armed with adorableness, so please use caution if you attempt to approach them. They will attempt to make you feel sorry for them and then they'll steal your pizza. @ladymarkielynn #dogshaming
