MINNESOTA, UNITED STATES // One dog has apparently learned a new trick: how to drive a lorry.
Customers at a Minnesota petrol station saw a golden retriever appear to drive the vehicle across a road Friday.
Mankato police say the idling lorry 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 lorry to stop it.
David Stegora was at the store when he heard the truck smash into a tree and a parked car. He could not see the driver, but saw the dog climb up near the driver’s side.
Police say the lorry was taken off the road. The driver had left the unoccupied lorry running in a nearby parking lot.
