Ruff news for festive feathers

It's been a good week for - clever dogs

Tail-gating has taken on new meaning now that dogs have learned how to drive. An animal welfare group in New Zealand spent just eight weeks coaching three rescue dogs on how to master the rudiments in wooden carts. They then moved up to a modified Mini in which the animals sit on their haunches in the driver's seat with their paws on the wheel. Their feet work extension levers, which are attached to the accelerator and the brake, while one paw rests on the gearstick.
