“My daughter had four dogs when we added Captain Jack to the pack. He was much smaller than the rest. Over time, he would gather "all" the dog's toys and horde them under pieces of furniture where the others could not get them. Later in life, he would steal the other chews or bones. If he was chewing on a bone and you moved him, he was always laying on a backup. I found an unsprung mouse trap (I didn't have mouse traps) and a random spoon under my bed. I have never figured out where they came from although I did see him sneak into a neighbor's house once.”
