That Dog can DRIVE!

» by Chris in: Dumb Luck, Pets and animals, Strange Happenings, Weird News

An interesting thing happened the other day. Musician Bryan Maher was in a Long Island cafe when he noticed that his Ford van was on the move. The odd thing was that his dog, Bentley, a Shar-Pei Boxer mix, was at the wheel!

“I left my car running because it’s cold outside and I didn’t want my dog to freeze,” Maher told the Daily News on Thursday. “The next thing I knew, I looked up to see my van coming at me in the window.”

Bentley somehow set the parked vehicle in motion and crashed the van into the cafe window. Maybe he was trying to get to Maher? No one was hurt in the accident, luckily.

“Aw, Bentley was wagging his tail afterward,” cafe owner Patricia McCarthy told the News.

Wordless Wednesday

Seriously, who drives a cow around in a car! Take a look at the last photo in this series – that’s all the reason you need not to let a cow in your vehicle.

Patrons of a local bar persuaded Pat Dykstra, 51, that she was too drunk to drive home. So … taking responsibility she decided to call 911 from her truck to ask for a sheriff to be sent over to follow her home.

She ended her call to the police dispatcher by explaining how dangerous it was for her to be driving while on the phone!

when the deputies eventually caught up with Dykstra her alcohol reading was .14 which is well over the maximum permitted.

Looks like those concerned bar patrons should have taken away her keys! Luckily she didn’t get into or cause an accident.
