Now We've Seen Everything: Driving Dogs Pass Live TV Driving Test

Well, they did it. Two dogs drove around a track in New Zealand on live television. The world smiles.

Last week we wrote about the shelter dogs who were learning to drive in New Zealand, thanks to the efforts of Auckland's SPCA. Why were they learning to drive? The official reason was to increase awareness about how smart shelter dogs are, in the hopes to increase adoptions.

The unofficial reason was OMG dogs driving.

Those three dogs -- Porter, Monty, and Ginny -- did in fact learn how to drive. But the true test came on Monday, when the dogs were tasked with driving the modified Mini around a racetrack on live television. Specifically, the Campbell Live show. We salute New Zealand for bringing some much-needed drama back to live television.

Well, good news. Porter, the 18-month-old Schnauzer, passed the test, driving his Mini around the track and looking like an absolute champ doing it. With one foot on the brake and one on the gas, and one paw on the wheel and another on the stick shift (!!!), he flew around the track ... at around 2 mph, but still.

Asked for comment, Porter said, "When I drive that slow, you know it's hard to steer. And I can't get get my car out of second gear. What used to take two hours now takes all day. Huh! It took me 16 hours to get to L.A."

Actually, he just wiggled a lot, very happy.
