Dog crashes car into West Virginia Wal-Mart

WAYNE, W.Va. (CNN) — Joy rides are usually the territory of teenagers, but an unruly pair of pets pulled a fast one on their owner and took the car for a spin in a Wal-Mart parking lot.

A Wal-Mart employee said she was on a break when she noticed a car in a parking spot started moving slowly toward her. As the car inched closer, she assumed the driver was somebody she knew who was messing with her, until she saw a dog’s face in the driver’s seat.

The car crashed into the front of the building. The employee said a second dog in the passenger’s seat then pushed the car window down.

A store employee said they paged the owner of the car who said she left her car running so her dogs could stay cool while she was shopping.

Wayne County Sheriff’s Department officials said the dog had knocked the car out of park. The car and the building suffered only minor damage and the dogs were OK, the officials added.
