Golden Retrievers are known for their loving nature, playful personalities, and uncanny ability to melt hearts with their big, soulful eyes. But behind those golden locks and wagging tails often hides a mischievous side that emerges at the most unexpected—and hilarious—moments. One such Golden, Charlie, took his natural curiosity to the next level when he transformed into a “porch pirate” and snatched an unsuspecting neighbor’s Uber Eats delivery in a moment that has since gone viral.
Charlie lives with his human, Lauren, who is no stranger to her dog’s mischievous tendencies. Like many Golden Retriever owners, she’s grown used to his innocent-looking face being paired with not-so-innocent behavior. But nothing quite prepared her for the moment when Charlie took food thievery to a whole new level by snagging someone else’s meal straight off a front porch.
As captured in a now-viral video originally posted to TikTok, Charlie didn’t hesitate when he spotted a tantalizing brown paper bag of Uber Eats sitting unattended. Evidently operating under the motto “finders, eaters,” Charlie swiftly made off with the delivery, his furry chin clamped proudly around a large, fluffy slice of bread.
By the time Lauren discovered his antics, the guilty evidence was still hanging from Charlie’s mouth, much to her dismay—and amusement. Despite standing there with damning proof between his jaws, Charlie made every effort to appear clueless. Anyone familiar with the ways of Golden Retrievers knows they’ve mastered the art of the ‘innocent look.’
Lauren quickly stepped in before Charlie devoured the entire meal. She pried the bread from his reluctant grip and chose to toss it outside for the birds. Charlie, though visibly disappointed, seemed to understand that his porch piracy didn’t earn him the five-star snack he’d envisioned.
Since arriving in Lauren’s life in 2023, Charlie has brought immense happiness and laughter. He came into her life after the loss of her beloved dog, Cody, who passed away after years of companionship. Though no dog could ever replace Cody, Charlie’s high-spirited personality and unconditional love have helped to heal Lauren’s heart.
Lauren keeps Cody’s memory alive through her heartfelt TikTok videos and has now shared Charlie’s day-to-day journey as well—including his many, often stolen, treasures. From puppyhood to porch heist, Charlie’s evolution has kept viewers entertained.
Charlie’s mischief doesn’t stop at food. According to Lauren, he’s also known to swipe items like gloves, scrunchies, and shoes whenever they’re left within reach. His growing collection of “borrowed” goodies continues to amuse his online followers and adds to his charm.
Despite his occasional troublemaking tendencies, Charlie’s bond with Lauren is undeniable. Through moments of laughter, heartbreak, and play, the two share an unbreakable connection. Whether he’s stealing carbs or cuddling on the couch, Charlie’s golden heart always shines through.
Life with a Golden Retriever is full of surprises—often wrapped in slobber and sprinkled with crumbs. Charlie’s harmless (and hilarious) porch heist is just another example of how these dogs keep us laughing, even as we’re chasing after them to retrieve our missing snack or sock.

Charlie may not understand delivery etiquette, but one thing is clear: his blend of boldness and charm has made him a shining star—and his porch piracy just earned him a top spot in the annals of mischievous mutts.
