Golden Retriever's Hilariously Guilty Face Says Everything After Cat Food Goes Missing
I can always tell when one of my dogs has done something they shouldn't have. My Dachshund refuses to make eye contact with me and will even hide to avoid a potential confrontation, where her Pug mix brother feigns innocence with those big eyes and a look that says, "wasn't me."
Jazz the Golden Retriever has an immediate tell when she's been into some sort of mischief and can't pull off a poker face no matter how hard she tries.

In the TikTok from @jennycarico, Jazz sat and stared at the camera yet could hardly keep from nervously twitching as her mom peppered her with questions. Apparently, a cat food thief was in the area, and Jazz was the prime suspect.
"What happened?" her mom asked. "Did you eat Mizu's food? What happened? What's going on?"
Jazz could barely keep her eyes open as she anxiously blinked, unable to look her mom in the eye. The guilt was written all over the fur baby's face, completely blowing any hope of an innocent cover.
The guilty Golden tried to approach her mom, most likely to explain herself, but her mother made her sit again so they could talk things out.
"What did you do? Did you eat Mizu's food?" her mom inquired again. Jazz licked her lips, obviously getting parched under pressure, yet basically pled the fifth while unsuccessfully attempting to dodge the interrogation.
Jazz Received Leniency
Though the canine cutie didn't outright admit her guilt, her face spoke volumes. Jazz's mom was undeterred and continued with the questioning.
"Are you going to tell me what you did?" she prompted. "You ate the cat food. Is that what you did?"

At one point, Jazz heard the faint sound of a footstep and hoped that would be enough to divert her mom's attention, but no such luck. The precious pooch's mother had compassion on the pup's understandable lack of control and figured the guilt the Golden felt was enough of a punishment.
"It's ok," her mom relented. "You want a treat?"
At hearing the word "treat," Jazz knew the matter was put to rest and could move on from the awkward inquisition. She approached her mom with a sweet, sheepish smile and all was forgotten.
