The office dog was caught in the act while stealing toys that have been missing many days one by one. The officers in Franklin have been collecting toys ahead of Christmas to hand them over to the Santa Foundation, an organisation that donates presents to families in need during Christmas. When they noticed that the toys have been disappearing over the days, a thorough search was called on. Just then Ben Franklin, the therapy dog, was caught red-handed.

It seems that when Ben saw the toys, he thought they all belonged to him, James said. He added that Ben had been banned from the collection room and the toys he had carried were replaced as he had gotten his slobber all over them. Here is the furry thief.
