Another dog problem

In pickups, coupes, sedans, sports cars here in Maine, we see dogs at the wheel, their snouts out to catch the wind, not a care in the world. For a while we thought this was sort of cute, and very Maine. However, liberty breeds license. I was alarmed to read, in last night's Times-Record, that a dog had been drinking before it took to the road. This is unsafe behavior. What makes it worse: it was a police dog! I can only hope it was off duty.
You can bet things will only get worse, as dogs love to one-up each other. I am particularly concerned for our friend Dodger, the McIlvains' dog, who will probably be texting next time he hits the road.
