A Massachusetts man is blaming his German Shepherd puppy for totaling his car.  John Costello says that he started his car after taking a walk with his dog at a park recently.

According to Costello, that's when the three-month-old puppy jumped up, put the car into gear, and then fell on the gas pedal.

The car lurched forward and drove into a pond.  It was completely submerged, but both Costello and the puppy got out okay.
