Dog’s joyride goes wrong as pooch crashes 18-wheeler into car

MANKATO - An enterprising pup in Minnesota learned that driving is harder than it looks. Shortly after 2 p.m. on Friday the driver of this semi thought the truck was in park, but not for long. The truck drove across the street, jumped the curb, took out a tree and crashed into a car.

When a passerby opened the door they found a single dog driver. It’s unclear why the dog thought it could drive, but it’s clear the ride was ruff.

Sorry. Let’s try that again.

It’s unclear why the dog thought it could drive, but the driver promised to bark his truck more securely next time.

Dammit.

It’s unclear why the dog thought it could drive, but it’s still a good dog hopefully with a wet nose because a wet nose is a sign of dog health you might be surprised to find out.

That’s better.
