One car owner in China learned the hard way that it is not usually a good idea to leave a dog in your car.<br /><br />At around 5:40pm on 10 December, a man said to be a local shopkeeper, briefly parked his car beside a pond in Xinguang Village, Jinhua, Zhejiang.<br /><br />As he planned to return almost immediately with a box, he left the engine running and the boot of the car open.<br /><br />But the dog in the car got excited and knocked the gear stick into drive mode, sending the vehicle into the water.<br /><br />Fortunately he was able to rescue his dog from the submerged car. It is not known if he was able to salvage the vehicle though.
