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.

Can you imagine being the owner of this van?
It would probably take a week to get it free of the ice! How would you get it off anyway? Pots of warm water? A fire thrower? Any other ideas?
