The Great Banana Bread Heist

Who of these three is the guilty one?

My dogs are fun, crazy, energetic and would eat anything put in front of them.  I have to keep the counters clear of any little bit of food.  I know if I had a camera on them when I leave I would find them immediately checking the counters.  Each time I leave the house I look at each of them feeling sad I am leaving. They in turn give me (what I think is) a sad look as I leave. In reality they are waiting for the garage door to close so they can go check to see if I left anything on the counter or if I happen to leave the pantry door slightly agar.  I have done both of those things on occasion only to come home to find garbage strewn all over the floor.  I have come home to empty packages on the floor and crumbs in their dog beds.  

The other day I spent a few hours making homemade banana bread.  I placed it in a large plastic bag and pushed it to the back of the counter.  I left to go for a run and upon my return I found part of the banana bread (not much was left) and the bag on the floor.  

This is what I found when I came home

At first I thought maybe they didn't like it since they actually left some of it.  Then I realized I must have come back while they were in the middle of the banana bread heist!  Of course when I came in not one of my three dogs were anywhere near the banana bread.  I know Spec could not have gotten it off the counter because he is  a MinPin/Chihuahua mix.  At 11lbs its unlikely he got it off the counter however I wouldn't rule him out from eating some of  it once it was on the floor.  Both Daisy and Tigger could have gotten it off the counter. Although I thought I pushed it back far enough one of them managed to reach it.  I did my best to interview all of them. In this video I interrogated each of them trying to come up with the mastermind behind the heist.

After I interogated each of them my investigation continued.  I checked teeth to see if I could find any leftovers from the feast! I checked their dog beds and found some crumbs in Tigger's bed along with part of the plastic bag.  I came to the conclusion that all three were somehow involved in this heist.  I think Daisy probably got it off the counter.  Being scarred of most things when it fell to the floor she probably got scarred and Tigger came to the rescue.  He probably got it out of the plastic bag and started munching on it.  I am sure Spec was around getting what crumbs he could.  Then Daisy being bossy probably came in to finish off the job she started.  That is when I came home and they all stopped what they were doing and acted like nothing was going on.  Now I realize this is all speculation on my part and none of it would hold up in a court of law.  Just wait because I have a plan to get to the bottom of it.  I plan on leaving something really yummy barely within their reach on the counter.  I am going to have a video camera going and I will leave for a short time.  We will soon find out who the ring leader is.  

Here they are acting like nothing happened!  They look pretty innocent but don't be fooled by their cute faces.
