Dog eats cop car's tyres

Some dogs chase cars. One in a North Carolina town decided to try to eat one.

The Cumberland County Sheriff's Office says a pit bull managed to deflate all four tyres of a deputy's cruiser near Hope Mills on Sunday.

Police spokeswoman Debbie Tanna says the deputy parked his car in a woman's driveway while responding to her complaint about another dog.

When Deputy Lynn Lavallis went to speak with Gloria Bass, the dog started eating the tyres. By the time the deputy returned, all four had been wrecked.

Tanna says the dog's owner, Bass's next-door neighbor, will be billed $500 for a new set of wheels.
