Car Float 0

“Car Float” is railroad for a barge used to convey railroad cars across water. It’s not something that automobiles do.

It looks like Rosie won’t be getting her driver’s license any time soon.

The 5-month-old German shepherd puppy stepped on the gas and sent her owner’s car careening into a pond in Canton Sunday morning, Canton police said.

After a walk with her owner, the puppy climbed back into the car and got her leash tangled in the gear shift. While trying to break free, Rosie fell on the accelerator, sending the vehicle flying forward, police said.

Addendum:

My friend thinks that the insurance company will refuse to pay because this was an “Act of Dog.”
