A breakdown patrol man managed to get a stranded woman's car started by using her dog.
Juliette Piesley, 39, had changed the battery in her electronic key fob but was then unable to start her car, reports the BBC.
When AA patrolman Kevin Gorman arrived at the scene, in Addlestone, Surrey, he found the immobiliser chip was missing.
Ms Piesley said her dog George had eaten something, and realising it was the chip, he put the dog in the front seat and started the car with the key.
Mr Gorman said: "I was glad to get the car started for the member.
"They will now have to take George with them in the car until things take their natural course. It is the first time that I have had to get a dog to help me to start a car."
I have a question: How does this work? Why would this chip just need to be inside the car, rather than attached to the car under the hood.. I don't get it.
If this is possible, though.. It's pretty cool.
