Video of the Day Lunchtime Quickie: Meet Winston, The Cop Car Eating Bulldog

Posted by Kelly O on Fri, Mar 26, 2010 at 12:00 PM

In the incident, an officer was running radar on Workman Road when Winston charged out through the gate and began shaking the patrol car. Winston munched on the tires and ate the front bumper.

He also attacked other patrol cars that were called in as backup.

If you play tug of war with a dog, they will keep tugging. Duh.

He must have been on meth.

I'm more of a cat person but this renewed my love for dogs.

Nobody got hurt. I don't see what the big deal is. Keep your cop cars off Winston's property!

This reminds me of the scene in Turner and Hooch where Tom Hanks is yelling "NOT THE CAR, DON'T EAT THE CAR!"

Umm... not even close to being a bulldog.

why didn't they just drive away?

@6 bulldog, bull terrier, both were bred for attacking other creatures weighing in at over a ton.

Such nice dogs. So good with cop cars.

Actually Shelby, he was allowed to go home today.

He has to go to obedience class though!

i want 100 dogs just like that! I would walk them all at once with no leashes!

Man, that cop car is sure cheaply built.

That's an American Bulldog. They're awesomely smart and athletic and LOVE to tug. http://www.bulldogbreeds.com/americanbul…

all those dogs look so happy - i'm glad the backup cops didn't shoot them, although some pepper spray would definitely have been in order.

I love it when the two dogs start playing tug-o-war with the bumper piece!

You have to own a pit bull to understand one. The police car was too close to winston's yard or driveway. The police must have made him feel he was a threat. He didn't jump in the car and eat anyone!!! He was just making the car go away. Instead of chasing him and tazering him someone should have got a dog cookie and tried that!!!!
