A 10-year-old English Mastiff named Titan has gone viral after he hopped behind the wheel of a golf cart and crashed it into his owner’s Chevy truck – a truly bizarre turn of events that no one would believe had it not been captured on a home security camera.
The video of Titan commandeering the golf cart was posted to the ViralHog channel on YouTube earlier this month and has since racked up nearly 50,000 views. The clip shows the large English Mastiff approaching the golf cart before he attempts to hop up on the bench seat – presumably for a nap. Titan then accidentally sits on the gas pedal whilst trying to climb up on the seat, giving the golf cart forward thrust and taking the confused K9 along for the ride.
Luckily for Titan, the golf cart’s wheel was turned sharply to the left, so he immediately began travelling in the direction of the house instead of the road that runs in front of it. But while this was a positive turn of events for Titan, his owner was a bit less lucky. The golf cart ends up slamming nose-first into the driver’s side front quarter panel of the owner’s Chevy truck, which could be a Chevy Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado or Avalanche based on the front fascia design, likely incurring quite a bit of body damage in the process. Titan then hops out of the golf cart and appears to survey the situation for a moment before walking away as though nothing happened. We get the feeling this will be the last time the owner leaves the key in his golf cart when Titan’s left unattended.

I always thought this fascia was unique to the Tahoe/Suburban/Avalanche and wasn’t used on the Silverado. I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong.
Good that it was caught on camera, no one would have ever believed that story haha
So that golf cart has a gasoline engine if the dog sat on the gas pedal.
Runaway shopping carts are left out by ignorant people are a real threat. I’ve been a witness, victim, and vocal critic.
Yeah Joe I’ve been a victim of that very situation on my Camaro cost me 500 bucks to fix
Yup, same here on my 4th gen camaro.
That’s ashame sorry to hear that mines a 5th gen i don’t go to any stores on windy days anymore
Looks like a commercial for Stan, @Statefarm,
I’m a golfer and every cart I’ve ever used requires a key that must be turned on.
I bet if you wanted to steal that Tahoe/Suburban, you’d find it unlocked with the keys in the cupholder.
Quote from Titan, “It wasn’t me.”
The owner accidentally misspelled Tiger as Titan.
So this what we’re now resorting to as news for the suburban? Been waiting a year to even be able to order one, really wish there would be some news about that.
