Poor ol' Gunner was just along for the ride. The Weimaraner thought it was going to be another quick trip with his owner - this time, going down to the Emporia courthouse. Little did he know, he was about to go along for the ride with the suspect who stole his master's truck.

According to the Wichita Police Dept.'s Facebook page, Gunner was waiting patiently as his owner ran into the courthouse to renew his auto tags. That's when, they say, a man stole the 2013 Chevy pickup and took off. The suspect must not have seen the big, gray dog waiting in the back seat as he started toward Wichita.

In Wichita, 81 long miles away, the suspect allegedly abandoned Gunner - and the truck - in the 500 block of N. Topeka, where Officer Duggan found him. The "friendly" pup got to spend the night in Wichita before heading back home the next day for a happy reunion with his owner.

Police also said the suspect was tracked down a few days later and taken to Emporia to face theft counts.
