A Colorado man got pulled over for going 52 mph in a 30 mph zone. And as the police approached his vehicle, he did the most logical thing someone pulled over for speeding could do, he switched places with his dog, which was sitting in the passenger seat.

Then the man climbed out of the passenger door, pointed at the dog, and said that the dog was driving.

I've heard of kids blaming the dog for eating their homework when they didn't do their assignment, but throwing your dog under the bus for drunk driving?

That's ruff.

Well, for some reason the police didn't buy his ruse either, and questioned the man about alcohol consumption, and that's when the man made a break for it.

He was quickly apprehended, arrested, and charged with

driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, driving while ability impaired, driving under suspension, speeding 20-24 over, and resisting arrest.w

The dog got off with just a warning.
