AND IN NEW ZEALAND, DRIVING IS GOING TO THE DOGS

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Auckland, New Zealand came up with an innovative idea to prove just how intelligent dogs really are.

Two dogs they had rescued were taught how to drive in just two months. The two pups learned how to drive with their front paws on the steering wheel, while their back paws rested on levers attached to the accelerator and the brake

From practicing in the lab, the two dogs progressed to driving a modified Mini around an Aukland race track with obvious enjoyment.

The project, the charity admitted, is a publicity stunt which will hopefully encourage the public to adopt rescue dogs.
