We regret to inform our readers that not all of man's best friends have remained loyal in the face of continuing pressure from the Animal Uprising™. And when man's best friend goes bad, there is no telling what can happen. For example, they might steal your car and joyride it right into the river.
SAGLE, Idaho – Bad dog. 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.
"There's nothing weirder than looking at your car cruising down your driveway when you're not in it and seeing your dog jump out and then watching your car go splash," Ewing said.
Blackguard lab, you mean. All of you people who take your dogs for rides in the car, watch out. They've been observing you and figuring out how to operate the controls. Expect a flurry of man bites dog stories as the full role reversal kicks in! Incidentally, Ewing was wrong – things did actually get more weird. The tow truck driver, named Keith, handed Ewing his false teeth to hold so he could take a swim before fishing out the car.
We weren't aware our brother had moved to Idaho.
