PRYOR, Okla. - A dog waiting in a car while at a car wash slipped the vehicle into gear and drove in a loop before the car came to a stop. Pryor police officer Brent Crittenden said the dog's owner was washing the vehicle when the 70-pound pit bull jumped on the dash and somehow shifted the car into reverse.

The car backed out of the car wash bay, continued onto a highway and then looped around before coming to a stop at an automated car wash lane.

Crittenden said the vehicle was impounded because its owner was unable to provide proof of insurance.

Because the dog was registered with the city, Crittenden said the owner was allowed to walk the pooch home.

Oh that is cute!!

I have a good one for you all!! My husband (before we met) had a boxer that went everywhere with him, well he boarded his horse at the time and it was hot out so he left Britney (boxer) in his brand new truck with the air on. Well the barn cat decided to go out and tease her, so Brit started jumping around and this was before GM changed it so you had to put your foot on the brake to put it in gear!! So she put it in gear and went for a ride across the hay field and into the ditch where the creek was!! Totaled the front end of the truck!!

Britney was fine, my poor husband came out of the barn and thought someone had stolen his truck and freaked out that his dog was gone!!

Did not care about the truck, just totally freaked out on where his baby was

Then he noticed the tire tracks across the hay field!! I heard this story so many times from his buddies when we met, she did over $6000 worth of damage to his truck that he had bought 3 weeks earlier, but all was ok, Britney was very sorry but not hurt or lost!!

Oh and yes Britney was with us on our first date!!
