Dog Drives Truck Into Auto Parts Store
Tue Dec 28, 5:33 PM ET Strange News - AP
SPRINGDALE, Ark. - Michael Henson left the auto parts store with more problems than when he arrived. For that, he can thank his dog.
Henson, whose truck had a sticking throttle, brought his dog along for company when he drove to O'Reilly Auto Parts store in Springdale on Sunday.
"He'd left the truck running I guess to show the people at O'Reilly's and the dog jumped over and knocked the truck into gear," Springdale police Sgt. Billy Turnbough said.
The truck raced into the building, stunning Henson and clerk Josh Hopper.
"The guy said he was standing there, looked up, and saw his dog driving his truck through the building," Turnbough said.
Hopper said he heard the crash and looked up from the transaction.
"His truck was in the window," Hopper said. "I thought, 'Oh no.' Everybody was fine. His front left tire just made it onto the brick wall."
No one was hurt and no humans or animals were cited, police said.
My dad's dog does that. And that dog likes to stand on the horn just when somebody is passing in front of the car, scaring the crap out of them. I've seen a couple people get mad and want to kick some butt until they realize that it's a dog that beeped them. Who says a basset hound can't have a sense of humor?

Buddy did it
"The dog's blood Alpo level was a .30, almost twice the legal limit."
LOL. But isn't that 7 times the legal limit in human levels?
