A husky puppy who was left alone in a Russian car while its owner was running an errand on Tuesday caused a series of fender benders around a parking lot in the southwestern Siberian city of Barnaul.
The dog, waiting for its master to get out of a construction goods store, started to impatiently jostle around in the Zhiguli's front seat and somehow managed to put the vehicle in motion, the Interfax news agency reported.
The car crashed into several other parked cars before it slowed to a standstill. The dog was unharmed in the incident, and now its owner's insurance company is deciding how to handle the damage, the report said, citing police.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
