Unfortunately, some of the most serious consequences involve the law, and rightfully so.
Drunk driving should never be condoned and is extremely unsafe, but sometimes you still get those rule breakers who think they'll get lucky and avoid any trouble.

The driver was pulled over for speeding and quickly tried to think on his feet and avoid arrest by trying to switch places with his dog.
This naturally backfired as dogs are famously known for not being able to drive.
Not only did the driver try - and fail - to bamboozle the arresting officers, but he then made a daring attempt to escape the situation by running away. He did not get very far.

Luckily, everyone can rest easy knowing the dog won't have to worry about a criminal record and only received a warning.
Hopefully, the dog and owner will make better choices next time and not find themselves in such circumstances again.
