Dogs jump in stranger’s car

Dogs jumped into a stranger’s car — and unexpectedly took over the front seats, Florida photos show.

Facebook user Keke Keke said she was dropping her child off at day care and left her driver’s side doors open. That’s when the three German shepherds slipped inside.

The St. Petersburg Police Department responded to the scene about 25 miles southwest of Tampa after the dogs just wouldn’t budge.
Officers said the dogs were well-behaved and may have been ready for a car ride. They tugged on the animals’ collars to help coax them out, spokesperson Ken Knight told McClatchy News in a phone interview. The Facebook user said two of the dogs got out, and police used fish sticks to help lure the one that remained behind.

Though officers aren’t sure how long the dogs were in the car, all finally left. Police said they gave the dogs “a lift to Pinellas Animal Urgent Care until the owner was located and took them home.”

What would you have done in this situation?

I'd take them for a quick ride and then return so they could get out LOL

Great story. I probably would have got in and given them lots of pets and love. Sounds like they were lonely at the moment for whatever reason. German shepherds aren't all big scary dogs. Some are trained for police/guard work, but generally they are friendly as these seem to have been. According to a comment on the police page, they have done this before.

Oh, that's funny that they've done it before!! Dogs definitely know what they want and sometimes know how to get it. There are a lot of Amish dogs that go roaming and their pics get posted on the lost and found facebook groups quite often. Those dogs know where to go to get attention and more food. One person posted a pic of a found cat and said, "he looks well fed." The thing was obese! everyone in the neighborhood was feeding it LOL
