AZUSA, Calif. - Doggone it, my truck's gone!

Police said Charles McCowan parked his pickup in front of a mini-mart Wednesday, leaving his 80-pound Boxer named Max in the passenger seat. When he came out, the truck and Max were gone.
McCowan called police, assuming the truck had been stolen. When officers arrived, they found the pickup across the street in a fast-food parking lot but had no idea how it got there.
In security video shown Thursday on KCAL-TV, the truck can be seen rolling backward out of the store lot and across the street, threading its way through traffic and out of view.
Police said that after McCowan left the truck, Max knocked the vehicle out of gear and sent it rolling backward.
Both Max and the truck emerged without a scratch.
Local police cited Max for driving without a license and for failure to wear his safety belt. After several grams of cocaine were found in the glove compartment, Max was arrested for possession and taken to the local pound, where he was held pending receipt of a ten million dollar bail, and repeatedly sodomized by great danes. McCowan hopes that his dog will be "scared straight" by this brush with the law.
