Aww, it's okay, Pumpkin. Cole bends down slightly so he can better pet Pumpkin. The belly scratches have started.

"I could tell Pumpkin was there and she wanted to play with someone. And she can't unlock things." That's explanation enough in Cole's opinion. Pumpkin wanted to play with someone, Pumpkin didn't have opposable thumbs, Cole did have opposable thumbs and lock-picking skills. Ergo, he did a break and enter.
