WHITEHORSE, Yukon Territory - An exuberant dog left in a truck while the owner watched Canada win the World Cup of Hockey managed to throw the vehicle into gear and coast down a city hill.
A man out for a walk called police after seeing the vehicle coast by with a black Labrador retriever behind the wheel.
Police arrived to find the truck in the middle of a road, blocking traffic, with the dog still at the wheel. No one was injured and there was no damage.
Going door to door, police managed to track down the owner.
"Subsequent investigation indicates that the dog was celebrating the Canadian victory in the world hockey game and knocked the truck into gear, causing it to roll down the hill," Whitehorse Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Wednesday in a firmly tongue-in-cheek news release.
"No word yet on how the dog is doing studying the rules for negotiating the new traffic circle."

I love this story--but I just had a talk with my dogs to be sure that they understand that they do not have driving privileges!
Thanks for posting a good laugh on a tedious newsday!

Smart dog! Is he getting a drivers' licence yet? (laughing) Since it is highly likely that the dog was at least born in this country, I don't have any problem with it. LOL.

Oh what a wonderful, wonderful pic. Reminds me of my late black lab, named Honky, who was a gentleman among dogs. He looked like that pic. I am entranced with it. Of course I am on my second glass of a fine, fine cabernet so I am entrance with alot.

My cousin's dog pulled the same stunt, but alas my cousin wasn't so lucky. The truck ended up crashing into a tree. The truck was totaled, and I don't think that his insurance agent was too happy either.
How does one write an insurance claim with the dog as a driver?

The lab was probably going out to retrieve some more beer. Mine takes public transportation since I won't let him drive with beer in the truck.

My Samoyed hates the smell of alcohol much less opt for the taste. My friend from school used to feed his Chow Tequila.. absolutely nuts.

His Chow was actually really friendly and playful.. even further when he took the shots of tequila.
To: wyattearp
Fine. You should have two pairs anyway. I wear Gargoyles all the time 'cause they're OSHA safety rated and the yellow "shooter" ones really change your looks . . .:-)

Giving a Chow tequila sounds dangerous. It's better than giving tequila chow. Rather colorful when it comes back up. And it will, it will...

Back in the 1970's I had a 200lb Bull Mastiff who used to go to a local bar with me. People would buy him fishbowls and beef jerky all night until he'd climb into a booth and go to sleep. He got to the point where he'd knock down anyone with beer and stand on their chest till they gave him the brew. I dried him out and couldn't drink around him. He was a happy drunk, though. True story.
