A man was arrested Sunday after leading troopers on a high-speed chase with his dog sitting in the driver's seat, a spokeswoman for the Washington State Patrol said.

The man from Lakewood, Washington, hit two cars on separate occasions and failed to stop both times, leading state troopers on a high-speed chase up Interstate 5, the spokeswoman said. No major injuries were reported in either crash.

The suspect was driving "absolutely recklessly," and a pursuit ensued at 175 kilometres an hour, she said. One of the troopers attempted to corner the suspect's car, looked inside and realized a pit bull was sitting in the driver's seat while the suspect steered, Axtman said. "The fact that there wasn't anybody on the trail is nothing shy of miraculous." Axtman said. "We are very thankful."

"I wish I could make this up," Axtman, who is also a public information officer, said. "I've been a trooper for almost 12 years and wow, I've never heard this excuse. I've been in a lot of high speed chases, I've stopped a lot of cars, and never have I gotten an excuse that they were teaching their dog how to drive."

Did they have to call in the k9 team 😂

Not too bright.

Oohhhh Canada....

Cabin fever symptom

I let my dog drive once, similar results!

SERIOUSLY? That's jacked up! 😂

It's a good idea, although very risky. Africans can emulate this, we don't need to pay for drivers anymore, just trian your dog and relax while it drive all around. I think it would be more difficult for dogs to drive on our roads!

Let me guess, owner was wearing a MAGA hat

It’s going to take a lot more than that to catch up to Florida. 💩

What a loser

LMAO

nguyxnchau damn he learned quick

Guess he should have taught the dog to drive the speed limit.

Anybody think that Canada has special news segments called 'America Newz'? Complete with an advisory to shield the eyes of the impressionable.

You're supposed to put 'Florida Man' in the title

New series Thedogking

What is FloridaMan doing in Washington State?

Leave it to groundhogs.

nspector4 Theres a real crisis going on, and you wonder why people hate mainsteam media with your shit reporting and media

Who let the dogs out

My bad, I won’t do it next time. Sparky really wanted to try driving

I knew it wasn't a Canadian. We only teach our beavers to drive.

kessmemaybe Only in CANADA EY?

Why was he arrested?

The guy was in the high-speed chase or the dog was?

I had to read that headline 3 times to make sure I didn't make a mistake reading it.

Damn Dogs think they can drive now? I don’t think so!

I thought it was Florida 100.

Lmfaooo

Hey Florida, back off because you lost here 😂

I hope the dog is ok

Dog crashed car because it wasn't a stick shift

Hell of an idea! I'm pretty sure though that this is tried every so many years and pretty much has had the same outcome everytime. Try a primate next time...it's all about the opposable thumb. Wrists and elbows help too..

Florida man

Guess that driving lesson was a fail. Sorry Rover.

Maybe the dog was trying to teach the man how to drive

Ez4u2say_Janis Most likely so he'd have a d.d. when he needs more beer...

Maybe he just thought he was living the same day over and over again? 🤔

Dogs can't read speed limits on road signs.

Is the dog alright?

Another realDonaldTrump voter no doubt. They're smart like that.

OMG.....REALLY?..

hollybeveridgee

Oh thank god it wasn’t in Canada

Teach a dog to drive? Impossible But more likely than teaching the cows on TheSocialCTV to think firethemall

I had to look and see if it was Florida ..it was not.

For some reason this made me chuckle. I do, of course, hope everyone is okay after the driving lesson. Was the dog a student driver?

Too bad. He should have been killed during the crash.

The dog was charged with DUIM, driving under the influence of a moron.

Legendary

nbcsnl did it first. cats

Thank God they took the dog away from that moron.

MegGardiner1 Thought you would appreciate this

I think this tweet is a day early 😁

I mean, to be fair to the guy, the dog was unlikely to learn on his own.

TOONCES wasn’t available?

Clearly some mental health issues going on here with this man. I just hope the animal shelter doesn’t kill the dog.

:)

Not going to lie. I think we need more news like this as opposed to the other thing.

DrawfeeShow remember when a cat wore a hat? That was baby garbage; THIS DOG CAN DRIVE!!!

Was the dog driving during the chase?

Sure it wasn’t bubbles trying to teach his cats?

🤦🏼‍♀️

The guy must have thought if Paw Patrol can drive vehicles, his dog could too. Dog’s name was most likely Chase.

Can’t make this stuff up

This is horse manure. The dog was driving how are they gonna give him a ticket!? Stand up for canine rights! This is text book oppression.

who lead the chase? a good boy?

This feels like a setup for a joke.

I wonder if it's a graded license system like you get your Pup1 then Pup2.

Conservatives nowadays.

🙏☹️. How stupid

What? Not Florida?

I have so many questions...

He offered the dog a T-bone to drive him to the liquor store.

As Death Toll Mounts, Trump Brags That His TV Ratings Are As Big As 'The Bachelor'The U.S. president boasted that the “ratings” of his news conferences are high which drives the 'Lamestream Media' crazy He needs to go. Permanently retired. SMFH What drives them crazy ( if that’s the right word) is that there is a pandemic going on and he is talking about ratings. I’m guessing he had to request someone find out what the ratings are. I’m hoping that’s not part of a normal presidential briefing. Media hates that his ratings are so high!! Losing their minds!
