In a TikTok video that has since gone viral, three dogs can be seen crowding around the newborn's car seat to catch a glimpse of the precious little creature – at least that's what Rue and Kevin are up to.

Murphy the doggo, however, has other plans.

At the beginning of the clip, Murphy pretends to just want some baby cuddles.

Suddenly, he dashes away and makes himself comfortable on the living room couch, looking as innocent as possible.

That's when the camera catches his secret... Murphy has the baby's pacifier between his teeth.

What a heist!

"We might have to get Murphy his own Pacifiers lol," reads the video's caption.

The pooch is shown with yet another evidently pilfered paci in a separate TikTok post captioned, "Needless to say, but Murphy is obsessed with his babies pacifiers."

This silly dog's antics aren't just isolated to pacifiers, however.

As even more adorable videos show, Murphy will put just about anything in his mouth, from pop sockets to backpacks and cell phones!
