A man from Washington is in some serious trouble after his dog got caught in a high speed chase...

Washington State Patrol said a man refused to stop twice, then hit two cars before leading them on a high-speed chase, with speeds up to 109 mph.

When police caught up to the car, they found a pit bull in the driver’s seat while the man steered the car. The man said he was trying to teach his dog how to drive.

“I wish I could make this up,” trooper Heather Axtman told CNN. “I’ve been a trooper for almost 12 years and wow, I’ve never heard this excuse. I’ve been in a lot of high-speed chases. I’ve stopped a lot of cars, and never have I gotten an excuse that they were teaching their dog how to drive.”

The man was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment, hit and run, driving under the influence, and felony eluding.

The dog was taken to an animal shelter.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
