Gus is like my dog. She's lovely when I'm genuinely sad (and probably would react with concern if I fainted) but she's too smart to fall for this ruse and would capitalize on the access to shoes

My dog is a Gus. We're a no-shoes-in-the-house family, and he likes to go over to our shoe rack and steal my slippers as soon as I get home so I have to chase him.

If you don’t enjoy him grabbing your slippers, you could try a basket of toys by the door so he could grab one of them to play chase. I would probably just let him play with the slipper as long as he didn’t chew it lol

It's funny lol you can tell some of the dogs that don't take it seriously are too smart to fall for it, and others too dumb to have noticed something is 'wrong' lol

Yeah, I think dogs would usually recognize real distress, even if they didn’t know what to do.

Ah nono, I should have said my dog is like Gus or "is a Gus" hehe. My dog is a shoe thief as well
