Back in the day, I drank a lot of Oly, brewed in Tumwater, WA. When they got franchised to Hamm’s Beer in St. Paul, it wasn’t even close.
That west coast Olympia was excellent, better than Coors ever was.

If it had been a Border Collie, the man may have survived...many BCs are trained in CPR.
The mouth-to-mouth part is a little tricky though.

Thanks. What a way to go. Accidentally pushed the wrong pedal? Suicide? Stroke / heart attack at the wheel?

Maybe he was following the GPS’s instructions.

= = =
On one vacation, the GPS was set for the Motel, 300 miles distant.
We took frequent side trips and the GPS lady had to “Recalculate” many, many times.
I joked that she would get frustrated and send us off a pier.
That is my theory in this situation. Don’t ‘diss’ the GPS lady.
