Guilty dog videos are some of my favorite on the internet, and this one is no different.
When Twitter user @BubbaAtkinson arrived home to find the contents of his trash bin scattered on the floor, he knew that there was only one possible culprit: his dog, Charlie. When he called Charlie into the room, she immediately knew that she was in trouble, and her owner managed to record her adorably guilty reaction for all the world to see.
Can you tell if Charlie got in the trash? pic.twitter.com/RSdemii6v5

People were quick to come to Charlie’s defense, because there’s no way a dog that cute could possibly be blamed for committing such a crime, right?
CHARLIE IS INNOCENT BUBBA

1: Who left trash in an accessible can when there are ridiculously expensive dog-proof cans available? CHARLIE IS NOT GUILTY! 2: Charlie deserves hundreds of puppy kisses on her sweet face. #TeamCharlie

Insufficient evidence. Case dismissed. Also, give belly rubs.

Thankfully, it all worked out for Charlie, in no small part due to the massive amount of support from internet denizens everywhere.
Update: charlie has been informed of everyone defending her and has gotten her toy in appreciation pic.twitter.com/ma1iKTGhJB
