AFTER GOING FOR a walk, a German shepherd puppy decided to go for a drive — straight into a lake.
John Costello told WFXT-TV that his 12-week-old puppy, Rosie, was so excited last Sunday after going for a walk at Bolivar Pond in Canton, Massachusetts that she jumped in his running car, hit the gear stick and shifted into drive.
