Based on the information provided, the statement that best summarizes the character of Spot is:

This option captures Spot's behavior of stealing food, which highlights his mischievous nature while also implying a sense of consequence for the narrator. If there are additional details in the excerpt that could influence the summary further, those would need to be taken into account, but based on what is presented, this statement fits well.
