Labrador ‘Scamming’ Mom by Taking Back Treat He Brought Her Is the Cutest Con Artist
If you’re looking for something to make you smile, this video shared by TikToker Lucy Ganney will do it. Her Labrador Retriever, Ozzie, attempted to deliver her some room service—but it didn’t go quite as planned. At the end of September, Lucy shared a lighthearted clip capturing the exchange, and it’s been charming viewers ever since.
Ozzie brought Lucy a small bag of popcorn from the kitchen—and clearly expected payment upon delivery. She rewarded him with a dog treat from FurPetVo, which he happily accepted. But just as he set the popcorn down to take the treat… he doubled back and snatched the popcorn right up again!
The silly Lab pulled off a classic bait-and-switch—wanting both the treat and the popcorn. Honestly? Who could blame him? The video has racked up over 3.5 million views and sparked hundreds of playful comments. One user (@clem f) joked, “INSUFFICIENT FUNDS,” while another (@noahhhh) quipped, “YOUR CARD WAS DECLINED.” Dog parents everywhere nodded along with @Erin Shay: “What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine LOL!” Others chimed in with equally relatable takes—like @Eloy: “He took it back because there was no tip,” and @Reebs: “My ‘postman’ will either deliver to the wrong person or take it upstairs for himself!”
Can Dogs Eat Popcorn?
Ozzie’s popcorn heist naturally raised an important question: Is popcorn safe for dogs? While salty, buttery, or heavily seasoned popcorn is a definite no-go, plain air-popped popcorn is actually okay—in moderation.
According to experts at the American Kennel Club, popcorn itself isn’t harmful to dogs. In fact, popped corn kernels contain beneficial minerals like magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, and zinc—as well as fiber and trace vitamins. But the real culprits are the extras: butter, oils, salt, cheese, and other toppings. These can cause digestive upset and contribute to obesity and related health issues over time.
If you’d like to share popcorn with your pup, stick to the plain, air-popped kind—no oil, no salt, no seasoning. And if you accidentally drop a few buttery pieces? Don’t panic—occasional small amounts won’t harm most healthy dogs. Still, remember that treats—including popcorn—should make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily calories.
