Alfonzo the dog recently decided to take advantage of his empty house in Tampa, Florida. The curious pup investigated a full garbage can while his owners were at work and it didn’t take long for things to get messy.

Speaking to Storyful, owner Aaron said: “My roommate got home before I did and immediately sent me a text message with no words, just two pictures of Fonzi sitting on his mountain of garbage in the living room. Our garbage can was full, but had a lid on it. That didn’t deter him. He got into it somehow and dragged all of the contents from the kitchen across the house to living room rug, leaving a trail along the way. It was impressive, really. My roommate and I were both shocked, but neither of us was mad. He knew he did bad. The guilt and shame just emanated off his face in such a palpable way that we couldn’t help but laugh. He punished himself enough, and we’ve all moved on.” Credit: Aaron Stubblefield via Storyful
