I'll Drive!

Charlotte and her mother were getting ready to go for a drive. While Charlotte waited in the front seat, her mum went back inside to get a jumper. By accident, she left the door open and so the family dog, Lolly, who had been inside at the time, wandered out and jumped up onto the driver's seat of the car.

Charlotte laughed as Lolly put her front paws on the steering wheel before jumping down to inspect the acceleration and break pedals. She jumped back up and sat on the seat again, glancing at Charlotte as if to say "Are you ready? I'll drive!" Before, Lolly had been checking everything out to see if she really could drive the car. Still laughing, Charlotte reached over and ruffled the little dog's hair. "You'd stop traffic Lolly!"

Charlotte's mother couldn't help laughing either when she came back and saw Lolly in the driver's seat. "Lolly wants to drive us Mum!" Charlotte laughed. "I can see that." Said her mother, laughing too. "But, unfortunately, as much as she might want to, the simple fact is, dogs can't drive."

Charlotte's mother dropped her jumper on the seat and scooped Lolly up in her arms. She put Lolly outside and came back out, slipping into the driver's seat and closing the car door behind her. "I know they can't Mum." Charlotte said, "But wouldn't it be cool if dogs could drive?"
