Mystery horn honker identified

Staff at Norwegian online newspaper Vesterålen Online were disturbed by a constant honking outside their offices at Sortland mall in Vesterålen on Wednesday.

After about 20 minutes they used a zoom lens to identify the troublemaker, and had a good laugh when they realized who it was. A boxer, later identfied as eight-year-old Dragon, was sitting comfortably in the driver's seat of a pickup, pressing his paw on the horn.

Dragon's owner, Odd Sigurd Remme says he was inside the mall to do some errands, leaving his pet in the car. He said he usually uses a cane to stop Dragon honking the horn, but on this occassion he forgot.

"If he is bored and I'm gone, he spouts off. Only once, so he waits a while, and if nothing happens, he puts both paws on top of the horn and keeps them there," said Remme. "He is bored and wants to get me. He probably thinks 'now I've waited long enough.'"

You have to love Google translation. On the linked article, it says, "The owner of the dog let out a long flat after the incident." Ha!

Heh heh, it's definitely not the best translation I've ever seen. :)
