Idaho: On returning from a walk, Mark Ewing could only watch as his black labrador Charlie leapt through the open window of his Chevy Impala and knocked the vehicle into neutral, setting it on a course for the Pend Oreille River.
Charlie abandoned the vehicle before it hit the water. "There's nothing weirder than looking at your car cruising down your driveway when you're not in it and seeing your dog jump out and then watching your car go splash," said Ewing.
Matters did not improve for Ewing when the tow truck showed up. The driver, Keith, asked him to hold his dentures while he swam out to hook the drowned Chevy onto the truck.
