Dog Owner Spots Food Missing—Security Cam Catches Culprit Red-Handed
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The moment a dog took her chances to grab a few snacks from an unattended pantry left viewers in stitches. Living in a household with kids, the dog—a Cane Corso named Margot—knows there will be crumbs falling from time to time. A recent incident happened when a pantry door was left open, which often occurs in this household. This was Margot's one chance to create a feast for herself; however, a home security camera captured her attempted crime. The security camera footage, which was shared on the TikTok account @mydogmargot on June 27, showed Margot walking out of the doggy door and onto the deck. She scanned the area, making sure no one was around. Then, scurrying back inside, Margo went straight for the unattended pantry. The next clip shows Margot coming back outside with a jug of animal crackers. But that was just her appetizer. The dog went back and forth to the pantry, each time carrying out a new snack—tortillas, cheese. She traveled down the stairs and into the yard to enjoy herself in peace. And, if it weren't for the security camera, she would've had a five-course meal. Screenshots from a June 27 TikTok video of a cane corso stealing food from the pantry and bringing it outside to enjoy in peace.

No food is safe with Margot always on the prowl. Margot knows how to capitalize on the children's habits of leaving the pantry open or snacks out. "They also leave their snack out and don't put them back, so she's opportunistic," the owner told Newsweek via TikTok. Despite Margot only taking what was rightfully displayed in the open, the caption revealed she wouldn't get away with it. Neither would the kids. The caption reads: "Somebody is grounded." Viewer Reactions The TikTok video reached over 1.4 million views and 189,700 likes within four days. People couldn't stop laughing at Margot's calculated plan, defending her actions. "Girl dinner... don't see what the issue is here," commented a viewer. A second person wrote: "But do you have proof he wasn't donating them to the less fortunate????? DIDN'T THINK SO." Another added: "Ok, but let's salute the pup. Takes all the snacks outside, not making a mess in the pantry." Someone else applauded his choices: "Flawless appetizer and main course choices here. I assume the kids are the correct ones being grounded bc what could be his crime? Good taste!!?" Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

Parents of boy, 3, killed by 'aggressive guard dogs' were warned about danger
Three-year-old Daniel Twigg was mauled to death by two large Mastiff-type dogs who were being used to guard Carr Farm in Rochdale - he entered a pen 'unsupervised' A toddler was savaged to death by two dogs on a farm after his parents left him "unsupervised" despite them being warned the animals were dangerous. Three-year-old Daniel Twigg died suffered "severe damage" to his neck and died from his injuries after he endured the savage attack. A court heard how he "suffered massive internal and likely plentiful external bleeding." Daniel had entered the pen and was pounced on by the two dogs, who weighed around "50kg" each. His parents, Mark Twigg and Joanne Bedford, of Radcliffe, both deny manslaughter and offences under the dangerous dog act. On the first day of their trial, it was said the pair were "well aware" that the animals were aggressive. Opening the case at Manchester Crown Court, Mr Elvidge KC, prosecuting, said Daniel died after he was able to enter a pen at Carr Farm in Rochdale on May 15, 2022, where he found "two large Mastiff type dogs called Sid and Tiny." A swab of DNA taken from Tiny's muzzle and Sid's nose matched that of Daniel's blood. The dogs were being used on the farm for "breeding and to act as guard dogs, " reports Manchester Evening News. The jury was told that they would be shown CCTV footage that showed Daniel enter the pen which was "secured with a sliding latch and a Carabiner clip," rather than a secure lock. Elvidge told the jury that Twigg and Bedford had a "long association" with the farm that belonged to a man called Matthew Brown, who was also Daniel's godfather. He told the court that Twigg was an "odd job man" who worked for Mr Brown. The family had been living on the farm after Mr Brown was remanded to prison after his partner had "complained about him". In an agreement with social services, Mr Brown's partner, her young son and their puppies left the farm and it was agreed that Mr Twigg and Miss Bedford would live on the premises to tend to the animals by "feeding them, watering them and ensuring that their living conditions were acceptable." The court heard how Twigg and Bedford were in charge of caring for eight or nine "untrained guard dogs" that were "difficult to control". They were of a varying breeds such as a Cane Corso, American Bulldog, German Shepherd, Tibetan Mastiff and a Boerboel. Mr Elvidge told the court that signs were in place warning visitors about the dogs, one of which told visitors not to exit their vehicle and to "beep their horn or ring" instead, while another said 'beware of the dogs they bite'. The court heard how the dogs, including Tiny and Sid, lived in an "extremely unclean and impoverished environment, with no clean bedding and surrounded by their own faeces', and that they were "not taken out of this environment for exercise." The court also heard that the pair had been warned about the risk of Daniel being bitten by the dogs by an RSPCA inspector but they "brushed off that warning." The court also heard that there had been previous instances of one of the dogs biting someone in the past. Another incident included a cyclist injuring themselves after falling off their bike due to the "aggressive behaviour" of two dogs that were roaming free on the farm. The trial is expected to last three weeks.

Boy, 3, died in 'ferocious' dog attack 'after wandering into pen unsupervised'
A boy of three died in a 'ferocious' dog attack at a farm after allegedly wandering into a pen out of sight of his parents, a court heard. Daniel Twigg was fatally mauled at Carr Farm in Milnrow, near Rochdale, while being 'alone and unsupervised', the prosecution allege. His parents Mark Twigg, 43, and Joanne Bedford, 37, are on trial at Manchester Crown Court accused of the toddler's manslaughter. Daniel allegedly entered a pen where two large, 'dangerous' 50kg dogs, a Cane Corso called Sid and a Boerboel or Boerboel cross named Tiny, were kept. The animals, which belonged to the farm owner, were used as guard dogs and for breeding and were not family pets, prosecutor John Elvidge KC told the court. Mr Elvidge said the pair were 'deliberately kept outside' in enclosed pens and the jury heard how the RSPCA had warned they were a danger. He told the court that while steps had been taken to prevent them escaping, 'no effective precautions were taken to keep Daniel out'. Daniel is seen in a neighbour's CCTV entering the pen at 12.50pm before moving around inside briefly and then disappearing from view, the court was told. A dog in an adjacent pen became 'excited, bouncing up and down in animated fashion' at the same time as the attack on May 15, 2022. The prosecution say this 'coincides with the beginning of a ferocious and prolonged attack' on Daniel, who suffered catastrophic injuries, principally to his head and neck, which were consistent with the 'predatory behaviour of dogs', Mr Elvidge told the court. Daniel's mother made a 999 call almost 20 minutes after her son had been in the pen, the jury heard. Sid was the most 'likely' culprit, the court was told. Mr Elvidge said: 'No-one suggests that these catastrophic events were intended or desired by his parents, but this attack and Daniel's death were utterly foreseeable consequences of negligently allowing Daniel to enter Sid and Tiny's pen alone and unsupervised. 'It is the prosecution case that his parents were aware that Daniel could enter the pen if he was left unsupervised.' The pen was accessed through gates secured by a Karabiner clip – rather than a secure lock – that could 'easily' be slipped open, the jury was told. The parents, who have two other children, had a 'long association' with the farm, with Twigg working as an odd-job man, including looking after the dogs, and Bedford keeping horses there. They continued to have responsibility for the dogs on weekends when the owner was away, and that was when Daniel was attacked, the prosecution allege. Mr Elvidge told the court that the animals had been kept in 'filthy and disgusting conditions' and the couple, who had eight or nine dogs of their own, were aware of concerns raised by the RSPCA and a warning that Daniel 'might be bitten'. The RSPCA inspectors had expressed concerns about Daniel being around the dogs and they mentioned a recent fatal attack involving a small child, but they were 'disregarded' by the couple, the court heard. Incidents involving dogs at the farm were said to include the animals escaping, biting people and fighting each other. Police were also aware that 'dangerous' dogs at the farm were being injured and neglected, the jury was told. Signs of 'neglect' of Daniel and that he was 'in danger' from the dogs were raised by Rochdale Children's Services when they visited the farm just three days before the attack, the jury was told.
