Texas police put out an APB earlier this week about a reckless driver that hit two other vehicles in a parking lot. In this case, the ABP was an Adorable Pup Blunder.

Kilgore Police shared an anecdote to social media on Thursday, December 1, about reports of a reckless driver that hit two vehicles in a Walmart parking lot. The investigation revealed that a dog was waiting in a running car while his owners shopped and got a little restless. While he moved around the cabin of the SUV, the dog accidentally placed the vehicle in drive thanks to a steering column that had sustained prior damage, police said. The dog's leash accidentally got caught on the parking break and released it, causing the SUV to roll through the parking lot and hit two other vehicles.

Brilliant- leaving your pet in a running vehicle! what could possibly go wrong? just about anything- this could have been a tragedy! Don't know what people have in their skulls because sometimes I really don't think it is brains!

Also doesn't look like windows were rolled down for pet to get some cool air... people need to stop leaving their pets in vehicles, especially if it will take over 15-20 mins for them to do whatever it is they need to do.

The vehicle was left running so perhaps they left appropriate heating or cooling settings on for the dog? All the way over here in Australia I don’t know how the weather is in Texas.

Accidents happen. No one was hurt. If I had to leave my dog in the car it would likely be running with the AC on.

Fortunately no one was hurt: that car that went out of control could have hit a person: the dog could have been hurt as well. It is foolish IMO to leave the car running with a dog inside of it, with or without air conditioning. Oh, and someone could steal it.

I've heard many horror stories. This is the first time I'm hearing of a dog being able to put a car in drive/reverse and roll around. I understand that it could have been worse, but it wasn't. I more often hear of dogs dying due to being left in cars with no heat/ air conditioning. I wonder if this was an older vehicle? I understand your opinion but truly sounds like a freak accident. Not a reason to not leave dogs in running cars. MOO
