A man identified Alberto Tito Alejandro has landed himself in fresh trouble after caught him on camera teaching his dog driving.
The 51-year-old American international, precisely Washington was grabbed by the police on a Sunday afternoon after the dog hit two vehicles due to over speeding.
Speaking to AFP, state trooper Heather Axtman, said that emergency services got multiple calls about a car travelling erratically at more than 100 miles per hour (160 kilometres per hour)
However, officers were shocked after giving chase to the vehicle, a 1996 Buick only to see a pit bull in the driver’s seat and a man steering and pushing the gas pedal from the passenger side.
Alejandro was eventually arrested after police deployed spike strips and he was booked on multiple felonies including driving under the influence of drugs.
“When we took him into custody… he admitted to our troopers that he was trying to teach his dog to drive,” Axtman said.
“I’ve been a trooper for almost 10 years and I’ve had a lot of excuses when I’ve arrested people or pulled people over, but I’ve never had an excuse that the dog was driving,” she added, laughing.
Axtman said the female pit bull, which was not aggressive toward the arresting officers, had been placed in an animal shelter.
Isn’t it abominable to see a dog driving? Well, it’s America that such cases will be recorded.
