Doggone! Key trick takes the biscuit

A parking warden who doubles as a dog catcher was locked out of his own car by a passing dog.

Wanaka dog catcher Daryl Taylor was on patrol when he spotted a Jack Russell terrier roaming free and foraging in rubbish bags in the town centre.

After a short chase, Mr Taylor caught the terrier and took it to to the Lakes Environmental headquarters in the passenger seat of his car.

Mr Taylor went inside to check the animal's registration so he could inform the owners but when he returned to his vehicle found the dog had locked the car door. The keys were in the ignition. MORE>>

I would have been surprised if the dog owner would have received a dog fine... how embarassing!!
