The Persistent Purple Unicorn Thief

A stray dog made quite an impression at a Dollar General store with his unwavering determination to obtain one specific item - a purple unicorn toy. The clever canine positioned himself outside the automatic doors, patiently waiting for them to slide open. Once they did, he executed his plan with precision, making his way through the store directly to the back where plush toys were displayed.

Time after time, the dog would grab the same purple unicorn off the shelf. Despite his careful attempts to sneak out with his treasure, store employees always caught him in the act and returned the toy to its place. This didn't discourage our furry friend at all - he simply left the store and returned later to try again.

Fifth Time's the Charm

After the fifth attempt at this adorable heist, store employees finally decided action was needed. They locked the automatic doors and called animal control to handle their persistent four-legged shoplifter.

When animal control officer Samantha Lane arrived on the scene, something magical happened. She immediately felt a connection with the determined dog and his unicorn obsession. Rather than separating the pair, Officer Lane made a compassionate decision - she purchased the $10 plush toy for him.

From that moment forward, the dog refused to be parted from his purple prize. It became his constant companion, never leaving his sight.

From Shoplifter to Shelter Star

At the shelter, staff named the devoted dog Sisu. They followed protocol, waiting for someone to claim him, but no one came forward. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Sisu and his beloved unicorn.

The pair was eventually transferred to Lab Rescue LRCP, where Sisu received training to prepare him for adoption. When the time came to find him a forever home, the shelter made one thing perfectly clear - Sisu and his unicorn were a package deal.

A Happy Ending

Finding a new family turned out to be no problem at all for this charming duo. Sisu and his purple unicorn were quickly adopted into a loving forever home.

Today, the former stray who once had to resort to shoplifting for his heart's desire lives in comfort and happiness. His persistence paid off in the best possible way - Sisu now enjoys a cozy life surrounded by all the plush toys he could ever want, with his prized purple unicorn still holding a special place in his heart.
