Dogs Who Can Drive
For adoption at www.drivingdogs.co.nz

We couldn't, in good conscience, do a piece about wacky but practical, and not acknowledge these New Zealand pooches who can drive a car!

It started out as a gimmick by the SPCA in New Zealand to get people to adopt them but the truth is, these dogs – Cali, Calypso, Taho,Chardonnay, Haylee and Genesis -- can actually drive. And they've got about 8 million witnesses (views) on YouTube to prove it!

OK, they require a trainer to be calling out the commands, but still, their skills behind the wheel are pretty impressive! More impressive, than say, many of the drivers on my commute this morning. There, I said it!

Would you buy any of these items or adopt a dog who could drive? Drop your comments in the box below or email ponyblog@cnbc.com.

From GPS shoes to dogs who can drive, these things are wacky but you gotta admit, they're practical. Hey, Buster, can you drop me off at the mall so I don't have to look for parking?!
