This has to be wind up right?

I wouldn't let my Doberman drive, he has no respect for other road users on the lead, id hate see what he'd be like with a car. Would any postie be safe.

Watch the video, near the end, how cool does that dog look, one paw on the wheel, one on the window. He just needs some aviators and he's away.

No problem. My greyhound expects me to open gates for him, share most of my meals and scratch his tummy - I can't imagine he would ever lower his status to be my driver........

saw this in the news paper today lol...

Considering the amount of time a dog lives for is on average about 13years and only able to move well up until about 10.

Is there nothing else they could spend there time doing? Seems pointless and by the time the dog start driving he will be half blind ffs.

yes it does seem a bvery strange thing to teach them but it was an exercise to teach so called untrainable/ bad behaviour dogs to do something to show that they can betrained and is a publicity stunt more than anything to show that they arent bad dpogs

A sad example of what the modern car driving experience has become.

Even a dog can do it.
