Meet 'Porter' World's First Driving Dog [Video]
The SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) in New Zealand is coming up with an innovative way of proving that it's possible to teach a rescue animal new tricks.
Porter is a rescued dog by the SPCA Auckland, and was taught the ability to drive a Mini Countryman around a track. After being strapped into the driver's seat, the dog is able to use their paws to start the car, steer it and work the gas and brake, which have been modified similar to a car setup for a special-needs driver.
Continue, below for video:
Porter and other rescued dogs aren't being trained to drive on the street as any sort of driving-eye dogs, rather it is just a demonstration of how smart and docile rescue dogs can be regardless of how they ended up there.
Porter was found wandering the streets and seized by the SPCA . Ironically, Porter initially got carsick during the exercises, but have since gotten over this.
