Pop Art Pet Unleashed

A woman in Hohhot, the capital of north China’s Inner Mongolia region, crashed her car while giving her dog a driving lesson!

No injuries were reported although both vehicles were slightly damaged, according to the official accident report. The woman said her dog “was fond of crouching on the steering wheel and often watched her drive,” so she thought she would let the dog “have a try” at steering while she operated the accelerator and brake. Surprisingly, they did not make it far before crashing into an oncoming car.

You can read more about the story on Yahoo!

Now, while our dog Kylie does have her own driver’s license she also has a very short attention span and is very easily distracted so she is not a good driver. [Okay, I confess, I know this from experience.. Yes when Kylie & I were both much younger I let her “have a try” at the steering wheel. But she seemed to feel staying in one lane was optional and she liked to honk the horn – a lot!] Besides, Kylie really prefers to be chauffeured so she’s free to be completely crazy in the car! Which brings me to the issue at hand…

We found this very cute website, Dogs In Cars, that features nothing but pictures of.. you guessed it, dogs in cars! I know it doesn’t sound exciting but if you’re a dog lover, especially one who loves to take your dog everywhere like we do you’ll love it. Oh, and you are encouraged to submit a picture of your dog riding in your car to be added to their collection! Naturally, we will be submitting a picture of Kylie but we are having trouble deciding (they request that you upload only one).

Kylie being uncharacteristically well-behaved and very cute in the car…

Or acting like a maniac, as usual…

If you have an opinion we would love to hear it, and if you have a great picture of your dog in your car, you should upload it. And be sure and let us know if you’re dog gets added to their site!
