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!

He could team with Toonces, the cat who can drive a car (an old SNL skit).

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.
