Oracle of DelphiThe Guilty Police Dog

41-year-old Mary Stone was recently run over by a pick-up truck. No, it wasn’t a drunk driver. And no, it wasn’t a speeding teenager.
It wasn’t even a human being.
As strange as it sounds, the guilty party was a German Shepherd. And not just any old German Shepherd mind you. It was a trained police dog named Ranger.
Perhaps a little too well-trained, somehow, the four-legged creature managed to shift gears in the parked car and drive over his victim as she walked over to her mailbox.
What is most perplexing is how this dog managed to change gears and release the hand brake. Police are currently trying to investigate whether there might have been some malfunction with the gears that allowed the vehicle to be moved so easily.
So who is ultimately to blame for the accident? Well, technically, the policeman who was responsible for the dog at the time can’t be charged with anything because he hasn’t done anything wrong. He left the dog in the car for a short moment and chose to leave the engine on so that Ranger would get some air conditioning. When he noticed the car starting to roll forward, he yelled out to Mrs Stone, but it was too late.
So I guess that just leaves the dog.
And as for poor Mrs Stone? She suffered a fractured pelvis and several other broken bones, but she’ll survive.
