Man my dogs do the same thing when they get into to trouble the look at me like that then crawl over to me and roll over and I just crumble. Truly mans best friend (unless they eat my gadgets!)
My sister's Wheaton has eaten a number of remotes, pairs of glasses and other assorted items. I guess she occasionally forget and another items "bites" the dust. I am generally warned when I visit - LEAVE NOTHING OUT!
Being that I'm looking for any excuse to get rid of my wifes dog, I probably wouldn't mind if that happened to my Playbook so I can send the canine to the nearest pound. I would've been beyond pissed if that happened to me.
