One dog apparently has learned a new trick: how to drive a semi-truck.
Customers at a Minnesota gas station saw a golden Labrador retriever appear to drive the semi across a road Friday.
Mankato police say the idling truck apparently was put into gear, then went through a parking lot, across the street and over a curb.
The Free Press of Mankato reports a passer-by discovered the dog sitting in the driver's seat when he jumped into the truck to stop it.
David Stegora was at the store when he heard the truck smash into a tree and a parked car. He couldn't see the driver, but saw the dog climb up near the driver's side.
'I heard the tree snap and I thought somebody decided to turn around, but then it just kept going forward,' he told The Free Press of Mankato.
Police Cmdr. Dan Schisel said the truck was taken off the road. The driver had left the unoccupied truck running in a nearby parking lot.
Police will not be pressing and charges against the dog because animals don't go to jail. Whether or not his owner will put him in the dog house is another story. Police have not said if they are charging the dog's owner, who has not been identified, over the incident.
'All I know is it was a Labrador,' Schisel said.
