MANKATO, Minn. (KMSP) - A passerby made an odd discovery at a Kwik Trip in Mankato, Minn. on Friday afternoon, and took a photo that proved sometimes things are indeed exactly as they seem. Marie Brace captured a photo of a semi smashed against a downed tree and parked car at the gas pump, a curious white Labrador Retriever peering out the driver’s side window, and no one else in the cab.
Mankato police confirmed what Marie suspected, the dog tossed it into gear while the actual driver was in a nearby store. The semi was parked across North River Drive, and when the driver left the car in idle unattended, the dog somehow knocked the shift and sailed across the street into a tree and parked car. Thankfully, nobody was hurt including the dog. No citations were issued.
Wonder if this little guy will get any Milk Bones tonight? Glad no one was hurt.
