A man in America called the police after his truck vanished - only to discover it had been stolen by his dog.

Police said Charles McCowan parked his pickup in front of a mini-mart in Azusa, California on Wednesday, leaving his 80-pound Boxer Max in the passenger seat. When he came out, the truck and Max were gone.

McCowan called police, assuming the truck had been stolen. When officers arrived, they found the pickup across the street in a fast-food parking lot but had no idea how it got there.
