A sneaky corgi was caught ‘driving’ away after it hopped into a parked car through the open door and the vehicle began moving.

CCTV cameras captured the bizarre incident that took place in Shantou, in China’s southern Guangdong Province, at around noon on 21st December.

It occurred as a man, who was not identified, parked his car on the side of the road and left the driver’s side door open to unload some stuff.

Meanwhile, the small herding dog happened to be standing on the roadside and curiously began sniffing around the open door.

Suddenly, it jumped into the grey vehicle and after fumbling inside for a few seconds, the car began moving since the man had only parked it without pulling up the handbrake.

As the car slowly moved down the street, the door closed shut and the dog was seemingly all set to drive off.

It had only travelled for several feet before a passerby took notice and rushed into the driver’s seat, pulled up the handbrake, and stopped the car before any accidents occurred.

According to an eyewitness, also not identified, it was her boyfriend who saw the dog getting into the car as he went out to throw away trash.

He reacted quickly and prevented an accident. They later discovered the curious corgi belonged to the car’s owner.

The couple shared the clip on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok, where it racked up more than 50,000 likes and over 165,000 shares.

One user titled ‘TCL~’ commented: “It is going out to buy groceries. Let it run its errands for a while.”

User ‘The poplar tree has no skills’ wrote: “It even closed the door and steered to the right.”

And ‘Nan’an Green Gardenia’ said: “Dogs can drive better than people.”
