Anne Sabol's cul-de-sac in Port St. Lucie, Florida, is fairly quiet.
Well, it was, until a dog hopped in its owner's running car, kicked it in reverse, drove in circles for an hour and smashed a neighbor's mailbox before safely exiting the vehicle without so much as a scratch.
Who's drivin' that car? A black Labrador Retriever, either terribly frightened or joyfully free.
As for the pup, it's impossible to know its thoughts behind the wheel. Did it jump at the chance for a joyride and a fleeting taste of freedom? Or was this all a harrowing accident as the dog felt all control slip through its paws?

I thought this was a thread about Trump & Putin.

next to this one. I am happy the dog and people watching were safe.

they won't park unless it's the row in front of the door.

seen anything like this, and I have seen some ridiculous scenarios. I watched an older lady, literally back over and smash a plastic shopping cart, while we all were yelling trying to stop her, a couple months ago.

Every dog I've ever known loves that bit of conversation.
He just made it all happen!
