A sheepdog by the name of \u201cDon\u201d leaned on the controls of a tractor, which crashed\u00a0through a fence and then proceeded\u00a0to go onto the busy M74 in South Lanarkshire in Scotland.<\/p>\n
The owner of the dog, Tom Hamilton, reported that he was busy tending to a lamb at the time and had not put on the tractor break.<\/p>\n
He reported to ITV: \u201cI was out in the mini-tractor and had stepped out of it to get a lamb, which looked like it was about to get out of the gate. I had not put the brake on the tractor and when I turned round I got a fright as the vehicle was careering down the hill, through a gate and on to the M74.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before Tom knew it, he noticed that Don and the tractor had taken off down the hill and straight through onto the motorway.<\/p>\n
The tractor eventually crashed to a halt in the central reservation and, thankfully, there were no reported injuries \u2013 including Don the sheepdog who came out unscathed.<\/p>\n
