The Franklin Police Department had no idea when they welcomed their new Police Therapy Dog Ben Franklin to the force that this cute looking golden retriever would sway from the right side of the law.
Well, they could not have hoped for it because this dog had been trained specially for providing comfort to others in the community. Still, some opportunities appear to be too tempting to pass up even by such a professional boy like Ben Franklin.
As it happened to be, Ben Franklin managed to find himself in a room at Police Station filled with all kinds of donated gifts that were ready for being sent to the Santa Foundation for gifting it to these kids in need. Seeing these many toys, the good boy lost all sense of the law and justice.
Ben’s handler named Officer Mucciarone said, “So this room is apparently full this time of the year, I mean choke-full of all the gifts and toys for the kids. Usually, this room is kept under a lock and a key but apparently somebody had gone in and then I noticed that Ben walked out of the room while he was holding onto a stuffed animal. He had slobbered the toy completely so we decided to let him have that toy.”
But the next day when the door was left open for once more, Ben had apparently sneaked back inside the room and this time he picked up a new baby doll that was still in its packaging. He was caught by his fellow police officer red-handed and on video at that.
When the police officer started recording that cute crime in its progress along with the culprit, Ben ignored the camera and started running down the hallway with the toy still in the mouth. He placed that stolen toy in his lair, which was under a desk. Once at the criminal’s lair, the police officers discovered a bunch of other donated toys that this pup had been sneaking out of that gift room.

Well, the video has garnered over hundreds of thousands of views since being put up by the Franklin Police Department on their Facebook page but the response had been positive. The audience still believes that Ben is a good boy and he should be on Santa’s Nice List. As one commentator writes, “Mr. Ben…I am sure Santa will bring you some toys of your own.”
The pup has been found accused of larceny but the police department is still holding on for filing those charges. They say that this thief is expected to get out of this crime clean.
