Charlie the black lab is in trouble after driving his owner's car into the Pend Oreille River.
Owner Mark Ewing had just returned home from picking up a pizza Wednesday evening. As he walked to his home, Charlie jumped into the car through an open window, and apparently knocked the vehicle into gear.
"He somehow got the car into neutral," Ewing said. "My car just went boom, down an incline and into the drink."
Ewing could only watch as his Chevy Impala sank into the river. No dummy, Charlie jumped out of the window as the car went downhill.

Aw-w-w, look at the expression on Charlie’s face. Bless his heart. His eyes say that he is sorry about what happened.

His eyes say that he is sorry about what happened.It's not Charlie's fault that his owner failed to teach him how to drive a stick shift. :-)

I happen to know that this was a set up ... throw anything into the water and a Lab will try to retrieve it.

The least the owner could have done was to have the parking brake engaged! I’m certain Charlie thought that was the case. ; )

"My car's in the drink, I've got dentures in my hand and this guy Keith from Clyde's Towing goes swimming," Ewing noted. Oh! That line is a keeper! I'm sure the dog would have held the dentures.

Smart dog — figuring he’d do the same to the car by shifting into ‘N’...

When I posted that picture, it was a dog driving a truck. Somehow it became Calvin. ????

Jo-jo, The Dog Faced Boy, alright.

A friend of mine went to the market in her station wagon, left the engine running with the car in park and her 3 year-old son in the car. He managed to pull the shift lever in reverse and the car rolled backward down a grade through the parking lot and across the highway.
Her husband was coming down the highway driving a dump truck ans saw his station wagon flash across in front of him and slide into the river. He slid to a stop and dived in and pulled the kid out of the car as it was sinking.

I forgot to mention that the dad saw his son standing and holding on to the steering wheel as it flashed by.

Your dog, too? Glad I’m not alone in doggie demolition projects! My dog has jumped into the driver’s seat when I leave him in car, no driving or shifting yet, though. Thinking about concrete siding, but that might ruin his teeth. Has thunderstorm anxiety.
