    Dog kills man - Vehicle Homicide

    http://www.wtsp.com/news/article/292...shes-gas-pedal

    A man has died after a dog jumped into a van, stepped on the accelerator and struck him as he opened a gate outside a Florida Panhandle home, according to officials.

    The Florida Highway Patrol says Iris Fortner, 56, and James Campbell, 68, were backing into their driveway at their home in Cantonment on Monday when Campbell got out of the passenger side of the vehicle to open the metal gates.

    Troopers said Fortner opened the driver's door to see where Campbell was standing, and that's when Fortner's large boxer bull dog jumped into the car and pressed the accelerator.

    FHP says Fortner tried to stop the van before the vehicle backed into Campbell, but he was trapped under the van.

    Campbell was pronounced dead at the scene
    For all the dogs run over by men.

    Did they give the dog a sobriety test?

    Dog saw his chance and took it.

    When a dog bite a man, it's not news; however, when a man bites a dog, then it is.

    Conversely, when a man runs over a dog, it's not news; however...
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Must've gotten the idea watching those New Zealand dogs driving...



    I need one of those to get home from the bar.

    Depends on how high they set it.
