LONDON (UK) — Authorities won't prosecute "Harvey" the Bulldog for speeding, reckless driving or car theft, but if he's ever caught driving again, he'll have a lot of explaining to do.

Yesterday, The Sun reported that the three-year-old dog was responsible for sending Johnny Vaughan's £60,000 sports car (worth about $100,000 US) careening into a parked van.

According to Mr. Vaughan, host of BBC's talk show Johnny Vaughan Tonight, the portly pooch had been riding with him in his Maserati 3200GT coming home from the veterinarian in southwest London.

Mr. Vaughan describes: "I stopped because Harvey, who was in the front and had a sore tummy, looked like he needed the toilet.

"I got out of the car and went over to the passenger side. But when Harvey saw me, he leapt over to the driver’s seat, pushing the gearstick up to "drive".

“Then the little critter jumped into the footwell beneath the steering wheel and pressed the accelerator down.

“I couldn’t believe it, but the car shot forward, with me chasing behind—and went straight into the back of a van with a huge crunch.

“I was too shocked to be angry. I couldn’t believe my dog had crashed my car."
