Okay, so our astute commenters will no doubt explain away the mystery behind this stupid video, but in honor of Friday, please allow us to present footage of a dog who "appears" to be driving. YES obviously the dog is not driving! (OR IS HE?!) The guy who filmed this probably has his hand on the steering wheel just out of frame, and maybe one leg snaked around to work the gas and brake pedals... while simultaneously filming a video for YouTube. Totally worth risking a fatal accident to get this hilarious footage:
Or maybe it's one of those cars with an extra steering wheel and emergency brake on the passenger side like they use for driver's ed, and this guy just put a brick on the gas? Who knows. We're not Woodward and Bernstein, this is just a video of a "driving" dog, cruising Avenue U en route to a drag race with Toonces.
