Dog Drivers Again! Doggonit!

Hello!

Hard to believe, but for the second time in several months I'm writing about doggie drivers! The Australians taught shelter dogs to drive cars (on a closed course) as a promotional idea for the local animal shelter. That wasn't the most fun part of that article for me~ it was when one of the dogs took off down the course, the trainer running after him to stop! Who would? The wind in your fur, the sense of power under your paws....

Today, in Scotland a pup messed up traffic miserably causing delays. The BBC actually tweeted the incident, reassuring people that it wasn't a hoax and that “the farmer and the police were on site.”After being pulled over on the M-74 throughway peacefully, traffic resumed normality, and drivers were reassured by the local radio that the way was once again clear to drive.

Everyone seems a bit confused as to how the canine pulled it off. The only thing that makes sense is that he has watched his farmer drive the tractor every day for years, and learned that way.

But why? Well, much as the New Zealand canines taught to drive in 2012~ the fur blowing back in your face, the feeling of power under your paws, getting to go somewhere on your own, without having to beg for a ride. Lot's of reasons. Why a tractor? Probably easier to hack~ No doors to open like on a sedan. I'm fairly sure that this smart dog will have that figured out in time.

Where was he en route to? I would check if there are any new doggie parks, daycare or food supply outlets that have opened recently. We all love the grand openings don't we? Why not
