A 26-year-old man who was stopped at a sobriety checkpoint in Pennsylvania started barking and growling at a police dog named Chaos. Chaos started barking back, though his handler kept him under control. That was the good news for James Paul Andrews.

Andrews now faces that charge along with others for DUI and driving without a license. [BJS]9/26/13
