CANTON, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) -- Rosie is a 12-week-old German shepherd puppy who was excited to jump into the car her owner was driving. In her enthusiasm, however, she got tangled up with the gas pedal, and got in over her head.
"She's a handful," said Rosie's owner, John Costello.
Costello says it all started after he'd taken this normally frisky puppy for a walk by Bolivar Pond in Canton. He hopped into his car, and started it up, but Rosie had her own ideas.
"The dog jumped in and hit the gear shift and the car jerked and she fell on top of the gas pedal," Costello said. "It was just scary."
Then, he said, his puppy drove the car into the pond.
"The car went for a swim. We all did."
That's right: Rosie launched this car right into Bolivar Pond.
"[The] car was right here you can see the tracks," Costello said.
The 911 call even surprised Canton police.
"I've never heard of a puppy driving a car into a pond," said Officer Robert Quirk of the Canton police.
But Officer Quirk never met Rosie. Getting her out of the car wouldn't prove to be easy.
"When the car first went into the water, I jumped out to grab the dog and she jumped into the back seat," Costello said.
And that's when Eric Hermann, who was working nearby, rushed to help.
"It was about 30 feet out the car," Hermann said. "Puppy was scared and ran to the back seat. The front door was open, [we were] trying to get him out the front door, coax him."
Hermann, Costello and another man all swam to save Rosie.
"I just leaped in and grabbed the dog and pulled her out and we both fell back into the water," said Costello.
The water level soon rose to be over Hermann's head.
"By the time we got the puppy out, the car had slid and we had to do a little swimming," he said.
But they all made it safely to shore in the end.

Thank god the puppy made it out; I was expecting to grimace at the end of the story for some reason

keep an eye on that little scheming shit. The cuteness is just to lull you into a false sense of security.
12 weeks old? That's going to be a big dog judging by that picture. Look at the size of those paws!
German shepherd pups are so adorable.
This is cute and all, but something screams insurance fraud.
The owner seemed somewhat enthusiastic during the interview for someone who just lost its car
in this modern world, the vicious, disgusting animal the dog must come up with new ways to subdue its prey

[quote]As for Costello, the car - his daughter's - is a total a loss, but he says he has insurance. As for Rosie - she's ok - and unaware of all the commotion she caused Sunday.[/quote]
Looking at the pic, it's a Dodge Neon. A car that nobody with a brain would ever miss. The definition of "shitbox".

German Shepherds come in sooooo many different flavors though.

Insurance company: "Your policy only covers licensed drivers."
owner: "But he has a dog license!"
Ins company: "Goddamn it!" writes check
... Why didn't the driver just engage the clutch and brakes?
If the throttle is out of your control, you disconnect the engine from your transmission, and then halt the vehicle, both at the same time if you're already moving.

Being in the USA it was probably an automatic.
Yeah, I'd assume by gear shift he just means the dog switched it from park to drive. If the dog is on top of the gas pedal then he's probably blocking quick access to the brake pedal.
