ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: a pet animal who steals things. Often, but not always, they then stash them away in a TreasureRoom (or doghouse). This trope applies when the pet steals with the intent to keep the item--simply engaging in a playful tug-of-war or a chase with the intention of being caught does not count.
This can lead to MistakenForThief if someone is thought to have stolen something that was actually stolen by a pet.
Often seen in KidDetective stories.
A variant is a pet owned by a thief which has been specifically trained for the task.
Can be TruthInTelevision.
Compare to ThievingMagpie, which isn't a pet ([[CoolPet usually]]). Compare PetGetsTheKeys and AnimalAssassin.
