Dogs go for a joy ride

A Port St. Lucie, FL driver left Max, the dog, alone in his car and as he stepped away the pooch managed to accidentally put the auto in gear and went on a joy ride-- in reverse, reports the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. Anna Sabol, who lives nearby, watched as the car went round and round in a cul-de-sac for some 30 minutes, coming to a halt when it backed into a mailbox. The unidentified owner of the vehicle promised to pay for the minimal damage Max caused. But, Ms. Sabol was impressed with Max, telling a reporter for the Sun-Sentinel newspaper: “They should give that dog a license. He drives better than some people I’ve seen on the roads here.”
