Pah! Ever since they lost WW2 the Germans have gone soft! Back then, no dog of any kind would get a Wehrmacht on a motorcycle to stop…

Unless this bulldozer was made by Porsche, or the bikers were overcome with a vicious case of the “Aww, how cute ist der puppy!!!”, I don’t see how the guy got away.

My thoughts too. Probably ignorance on the presses part. They call every thing that moves dirt a ‘bulldozer’ (drives me nuts).

Though, it would be suicide to try to board a dozer that was moving.

No, [this](http://www2.tbo.com/content/2009/jul/17/na-recipient-of-new-hands-applauds-the-procedure/c_1/) is the best headline ever.

Escaped on a bulldozer? Is anyone else picturing the motorized chair chase scene from “Seinfeld,” where George is trying to outpace the old guys on their motorized chair on his motorized chair? And he finally gets up and starts carrying the chair because it’s going so slowly?
