Truck Drivin' Dog Day Afternoon

In Springdale, Arkansas, Michael Henson parked outside O'Reilly Auto Parts and left his truck running as he sprang inside. His dog, who preferred not to be named in this story, was along for company.

Possibly bored, Henson's playful pooch jumped over and knocked the truck into gear. With little choice in the matter, the truck charged into the building. Clerk Josh Hopper heard the crash and looked up from the transaction.

"His truck was in the window," Hopper said. "I thought, 'Oh no.' Everybody was fine. His front left tire just made it onto the brick wall."

"The guy said he was standing there, looked up, and saw his dog driving his truck through the building," said a copper on the scene.

No one was hurt and no humans or animals were cited.
