SOURCE (With Video of Scene & Owner Interview):Florida dog knocks car into reverse, drives in circles for an hour
Residents of a Florida neighborhood said a car that drove in circles in reverse for about an hour only had a single occupant -- a dog.
Police said the driver of the car in Port St. Lucie had gotten out and left the vehicle running, and the dog then apparently knocked the vehicle into reverse.
Neighbors said the car was moving for about an hour before police were able to stop it.
"First I thought I saw somebody backing up but then they kept going and I'm like OK what are they doing," Sabol told WPBF-TV. "The cops came and I'm like OK."
Police were able to enter a code to open a door, stop the car and rescue the dog.
Sabol said the car hit a mailbox, some garbage cans and some bricks in front of a home while the canine was behind the wheel.
"He was doing pretty good until he hit the mailbox. He went around for about an hour without hitting anything at all," Sabol told WPTV.
That's the annual running of the dicks.Thousands of 'penis fish' washed ashore on a Californian beach
I don't suppose they snuggle up together. This is where we find the wolverine is the apex predator of the lot & mercilessly kills off the bears, wolves & lynx, escapes into the countryside & starts causing havoc.
Thanks for the cocaine bear story. That's a good one.

Squirrel ransacks home of vacationing family
A Georgia family said they returned home after a holiday vacation to find their home has been ransacked by a squirrel, and their insurance wouldn't cover the damage.
Kari Drees said she and her family received an alert while out of town that their alarm had been triggered, so they had a friend check on their home in Buckhead.
"We had a friend come check it out, and our doors and windows were intact so we just thought it was a software issue" ...
The family arrived home to find thousands of dollars worth of damage had been done to the inside of the house.
"We saw wood chippings from the door all over the floor, and as we further inspected it, all the windows had been damaged," she said.
Drees said they searched the home and discovered the culprit -- a squirrel nesting in their couch. She said the animal apparently came down through the chimney and couldn't find a way back out. ...
A Mercury Insurance adjuster was sent to the home, but he told Drees the company does not cover damage from rodents or vermin. ...
"Unfortunately, damage done to a property by birds, vermin, rodents and insects is not covered. This is explicitly stated in the contract and all insurance companies we know of have similar exclusions," the company said.
"That said, Mercury Insurance is sensitive to the situation and has offered to pay for safe housing (up to two weeks) while their home is professionally cleaned," the statement said. ...
This will cause apoplexy in some.
Bears and wolves to coexist in UK woods for first time in 1,000 years
Not only bears & wolves, but lynxes & wolverines.
European brown bears, thought to have become extinct in the British wilds in medieval times, and grey wolves – which roamed free until the 17th century – are to coexist in a project called Bear Wood near Bristol.
A bit gross but what's a dog to do? Die of starvation?Sad, at least it was only days so he wasn't totally devoured.
Three starving dogs were found eating their owner after he died of natural causes, police said.
Authorities were called to the 67-year-old man’s house in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania after a family member checked in on the man, who had not been heard from in days, and saw his body partially eaten. The man, who has not been identified, reportedly had three large dogs who were in the process of mauling his body when he was found. His sister, Renee Melvin, said: ‘When I came around knocking on the door, the dogs came to the window, I didn’t know he had three dogs.’
