Florida man's best friend!!!

https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/22/us/florida-dog-drives-circles-trnd/index.html?fbclid=IwAR2ayP3WHX4nxyi5cQAMw3kt_-zZtDhiLmiR4lb7EfipDgpagUKS1ynlo0k

A Florida dog put a car into reverse and drove it in circles for nearly an hour

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?

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!
