(CNN) -
The cutest thief was rewarded after stealing a purple unicorn over and over again from a Dollar General store.
The business in Kenansville, North Carolina, called animal control for Sisu, a large male stray dog, due to his repeated robberies.
He had gone to the store five times to steal the same stuffed unicorn.
However, instead of leaving him empty-handed, the Duplin County Animal Control agent who came to pick him up ended up buying the toy from Sisu.
The department posted photos on social media Monday showing the dog hugging his coveted treasure at the county's animal shelter.
The story quickly went viral.
"This is what happens when you walk into the Dollar General constantly to steal the purple unicorn you wanted, but then they call animal control to lock you up for your burglary and theft, but the agent buys your item for you and takes it away. Take it with you, ”says the Facebook post.
