Of dogs and trucks

I've been writing about random stupid things lately and haven't written about any stories for a while.  So here's a story about how my friends and I almost became internet famous from a strange series of events late one night.

We were coming home from somewhere, I can't remember where, and decided to stop for some midnight pizza.  We parked, went in, got some pizza and were just outside eating our pizza when I noticed a truck camper slowly backing up.  Now this wouldn't normally be strange, however the truck didn't have anyone in front of him so it didn't make sense for him to be backing up.

I watched for a few more seconds and noticed that the truck was starting to angle out into the street.  It was at this point I noticed that sitting in the driver's seat was not a human but a dog!  The truck continued to slowly back up, angled so that it would be entering a large intersection fairly shortly.

I was really confused and yelled at my friends to take a look.  One of them was thinking quickly and took out his phone to record what was happening.  The truck was fairly far away at this point and was starting to cross the intersection.  We ran up to the corner to keep watching.  The  truck continued across the intersection until it was a few feet away from a building on the other corner.

Since it was midnight no other cars were at the intersection, though we were curious how they would have reacted.  Anyway, we suddenly see two people running very quickly across the street and they jumped into the truck just before it hit the building.  We didn't get a great look at the people, but we all agreed that they looked like the couple we had seen a few minutes before that were behind us in line in the pizza place!

If the video was decent we knew that it would go viral and and we would make tons of money from the YouTube ads!  Excitedly we looked at the video and it was incredibly dark!  It was dark enough, and we were far away enough, that you couldn't actually tell that the dog was in the driver's seat :(  You could make out the truck backing up slowly and hear us talking excitedly about "a dog driving the car!" though.
