TULSA, Okla. — A runaway pickup, with two dogs at the wheel? It happened Tuesday in1 Tulsa near 25th and Riverside Drive. No one was injured, but thanks to the two canines traffic was backed up and their owner’s truck is badly damaged.

The dogs, Roscoe and Luna, were inside their owner’s truck at the top of the hill on 25th Street. In a matter of minutes, they were barreling
across Riverside Drive and into the Arkansas River bed.

“It’s was an expensive joy ride,” the dogs’ owner Nicholas Scott said. He told Fox 23 he left his dogs inside his truck for about 15 minutes while he went inside a home.

“I got around to the front of the house where the truck was, and it’s like not there,” he said. “And I was like ‘did I get towed?'”

One of the dogs had put the car into gear and they took off.

“Approximately three blocks down a hill,” Tulsa firefighter Clay Ayers said. The dogs missed drivers on Riverside Drive, runners on the trail and narrowly missed landing in the Arkansas River.

Roscoe and Luna were not charged in the incident.

Gotta love Roscoe and Luna, huh? There owner leaves the truck for 15-minutes and they make a break for it. I bet they’d been planning this getaway for weeks, just waiting for the right moment. Word on the street is they were headed for the Tulsa Dog Pound to bust out their friends before they crashed into that damn river bed.

I bet they would have made it too if they had, you know, opposable thumbs and legs that could reach the brakes.

Nice try, Roscoe and Luna. Nice try indeed.

Gimme a holler.
