You didnโt pay for that!โ That is what you probably could have heard from a Dollar General store in Duplin County, North Carolina this week. Except the store employee wasnโt talking to a person, they were talking to Sisu, a 1-year-old stray dog who stole a stuffed unicorn from the store five times before he was rescued. He previously resided at Duplin County Animal Services.
