If you’ve ever owned a dog, you already know they aren’t always the masters of stealth they think they are. Whether they’re tiptoeing across the kitchen tile or hiding behind curtains with their tails in full view, dogs have a unique and unintentionally hilarious approach to being “sneaky.”
But then there’s Luna—a Siberian Husky from Portland, Oregon—who truly believed she had mastered the art of stealth. Her elaborate (and ultimately disastrous) plan to steal a snack became one of the funniest pet stories the internet has ever seen. And yes, it was all caught on camera.
Meet Luna: The Overconfident Ninja
Luna is three years old, stunningly beautiful, and full of attitude. Her owners, Sam and Jessica Monroe, describe her as “equal parts majestic and mischievous.”
“She’s like a toddler with fur,” Jessica joked. “She’s dramatic, loud, stubborn, and always plotting something.”
While Luna was known for pulling socks out of drawers and opening cabinets with her paws, her real obsession was peanut butter. The problem? Luna wasn’t allowed any unsupervised peanut butter sessions after a past incident involving a demolished jar and a ruined rug.
“She knew she had to be sneaky,” said Sam. “And she tried. Oh, she tried.”
The Great Peanut Butter Heist
One afternoon, Jessica left a nearly full jar of peanut butter on the kitchen counter while she went upstairs to grab laundry. Luna was lounging in the living room, but the moment she heard the footsteps fade, she sprang into action.
The Monroes have security cameras in the house—not for safety reasons, but because they love filming Luna’s antics. That day, the footage revealed a masterclass in comedic failure.
First, Luna peered into the kitchen from behind the couch like a cartoon spy. She slowly army-crawled across the hardwood floor, belly flat, eyes focused. Every few seconds, she’d pause—comically still—then continue forward like she thought she was invisible.
It took her three full minutes to make it ten feet.
“She moved like she was in a nature documentary,” Sam said. “Like David Attenborough should’ve been narrating her every breath.”
When she finally reached the counter, she stood up, placed one paw on a stool, then attempted to climb it. Unfortunately, her back paw slipped, knocking the stool over with a loud bang.
Luna froze.
Then, instead of retreating, she quickly dragged the stool back upright—no small feat for a dog—and tried again.
This time, she succeeded.
The Faceplant Heard Round the Internet
Just as Luna managed to stretch her body across the counter to reach the jar, her front paw hit a coffee mug. The mug rolled, she lunged to catch it, and in the process, she knocked the peanut butter jar onto the floor—with a dramatic thud that echoed through the house.
The jar didn’t break, but the lid popped off. Jackpot for Luna… or so she thought.
As she dove in for her prize, she misjudged her own strength and slammed her snout so hard into the jar that it got stuck.
What followed was pure chaos.
The video shows Luna stumbling around the kitchen, head completely lodged inside the peanut butter jar, banging into walls, backing up into the fridge, and making weird whimpering noises that sound like muffled cursing.
Jessica, hearing the noise, rushed downstairs to find her beloved Husky staggering in circles with a jar for a head.
“I didn’t know whether to panic or pee my pants laughing,” Jessica said.
She managed to pull the jar off, revealing a very dazed, very peanut-butter-covered Luna blinking up at her with what can only be described as zero regret.
“She looked proud,” Jessica said. “Like, ‘Yeah, I did that. You saw it. I’d do it again.’”
Going Viral
The security cam footage made it to TikTok that night with the caption: “When your dog thinks she’s a ninja but ends up being a wrecking ball. #LunaFails #PeanutButterDisaster”
Within 24 hours, the video hit 3 million views.
People couldn’t get enough of Luna’s dedication, her failed espionage, and her peanut-butter-covered face.
One comment read: “She’s not the dog we deserve, but she’s definitely the one we need right now.”
Others made memes, remixed the video with dramatic music, and even created animation overlays to mimic a heist movie trailer.
Sneaky, Sweet, and a Little Nuts
Since her rise to fame, Luna has become something of a local celebrity. She’s been featured on pet accounts, local news segments, and even received a care package from a peanut butter brand—with personalized jars labeled “Luna’s Loot.”
Sam and Jessica still keep the peanut butter well out of reach, but Luna hasn’t stopped scheming. Now, when she wants a treat, she brings them the jar and places it carefully at their feet like a dignified offering.
“She’s still sneaky,” Jessica said, “but now she’s diplomatic about it.”
Final Thought
Dogs don’t always get it right, but that’s what makes them lovable. Luna’s peanut butter debacle wasn’t just funny—it was a reminder of the goofy, determined, endlessly entertaining souls we share our lives with.
And the next time you think you’re having a rough day, just remember: somewhere out there, a dog is trying to steal peanut butter with the stealth of a secret agent… and faceplanting right into a viral moment.
