Man in Dog Mask Robs Convenience Stores to Feed Pets

Captcpsmun23230608171150photo00phot A 28-year old man was caught on tape while robbing convenience stores in Osaka in a dog mask. His motive? To feed his two dogs, five cats, five turtles, two snakes, and his fish tank full of tropical fish. The guy, Takaharu Kuwata, managed to get over $5,500 in total from three hold-ups before he was arrested in March. Kuwata was on welfare and he claims that the monthly checks he was getting weren't enough to pay for his pet expenses.

Now the guy is in police custody, and his pets were handed over to a local pet shop.

Woof.
