 The dogs, Roscoe and Luna, were inside their owner's truck at the top of the hill on 25th Street. In a matter of minutes, they were barreling across Riverside Drive and into the Arkansas River river bed. 
 
 
 
 "It's an expensive joy ride," the dogs' owner, Scott said. 
 
 
 
 Scott told Fox 23 he left his dogs inside his truck for about 15 minutes while he went inside a home. 
 
 
 
 "I got around to the front of the house where the truck was, and it's like not there," he said. "And I was like 'did I get towed?' and I just thought no it didn't." 
 
 
 
 One of the dogs put the car into gear and they took off. 
 
 
 
 "Approximately three blocks down a hill," Tulsa firefighter Clay Ayers said. 
 
 
 
 The dogs missed drivers on Riverside Drive, runners on the trail and narrowly missed landing in the Arkansas River. 
 
 
 
 "Two boys on skateboards seen the vehicle leave in front of the residence and they did try to catch up with it with no luck," said Ayers. 
 
 
 
 Police decided to let Roscoe and Luna off scot-free.

– Every dog owner knows the "guilty dog" look that has made sites like Dogshaming.com a hit, but animal behavior experts say the pooches don't really feel ashamed at all, the AP finds. Researchers have found that the droopy-eyed, cowering look dogs give angry owners is a reaction to the anger, not any expression of guilt over shoe-chewing or food-stealing that happened hours earlier. "I don't think dogs actually feel shame," says Pascal Lemire, creator of Dogshaming.com and author of the book the same name. "I think they know how to placate us with this sad puppy-dog look that makes us think they're ashamed of what they've done." A psychologist who researched the "guilty dog look" says "the 'look' appeared most often when owners scolded their dogs, regardless of whether the dog had disobeyed or did something for which they might or should feel guilty. It wasn't 'guilt' but a reaction to the owner that prompted the look." She adds that while it's possible that dogs may feel guilt, there is a difference between that and shame, and the "guilty look" is no sign of either. In Tulsa, Okla., meanwhile, two dogs are presumably feeling no shame after going for a joyride in their owner's pickup, Fox 23 reports. Their owner says he briefly left them alone in the truck and one of them put it into gear, sending it three blocks down a hill. It came to a stop in a riverbed and while the dogs were fine, the truck was badly damaged.
