If It's Black, We're On It!
(AP) - Bad dog! Charlie the black lab is in trouble, again, after driving his owner's car into the Pend Oreille River.
Coupled with the dog’s destructive habit of chewing on the family’s furniture, Wednesday’s incident brought Charlie’s damage toll into the thousands.
Luckily for Charlie, his owner has a sense of humor.
“He doesn’t know what he did,” said Mark Ewing, who watched as his Chevy Impala sank in the river.
Ewing had just returned home from picking up a pizza. As he walked to his home, Charlie jumped into the car through an open window and apparently knocked the vehicle into gear.
"He somehow got the car into neutral," Ewing said. "My car just went boom, down an incline and into the drink."
Ewing could only watch as his Chevy Impala sank into the river. No dummy, Charlie jumped out of the window as the car went downhill.

Actually, things got a little weirder when the tow truck driver showed up.
Before the driver dove into the water to hook the car up to his truck, he asked Ewing to hold his dentures.
"My car's in the drink, I've got dentures in my hand and this guy Keith from Clyde's Towing goes swimming," Ewing noted.
