I know it's a cute, furry animal, but surely it would have been better to sacrifice the animal to save having the accident. Yes, I know nobody was hurt, but it could easily have been fatal.

Those puppies get into everything. They won't keep their paws off anything.

"Others here mentioned the stupidity of having a dog on someone's lap while driving.

BTW-I'm 71 so, stuff the age discrimination crap."

When asked to explain what happened, Richard Coerber struggled for a way to conceal his guilt. "It'sh not my fault! It wassh the Mad D-uhhhh... puppy! Yeah, the Mad Puppy! I mean, it wassh the puppy!"

Good one, Ogre.

I'm disappointed there were no puppy photos with the story. There aren't enough puppy photos in the world.

Hey, notice who isn't posting?
That goofy guy with the picnic table and the family dog.
I bet this senior ran into his table and over his dog on the way to the liquor store and he's had a busy day.

Driving in to a liquor store and smashing up hundreds of bottles of booze?
That's alcohol abuse.
