Chris Hoke holds Oscar, his 5-year-old wiener dog, Oscar likes to try to keep up with Hoke's 70-mph remote control car as it races along he driveway next to the Hoke residence on 6th Avenue Southwest and Southwest 112th Street in Burien.
Oscar was adopted, Hoke said. Originally, the dog was lost, came to live with the Hokes until the owner claimed him.
Then, the owner became involved in domestic violence dispute and asked the Hokes to take Oscar in, for good.
The speedy little dachshund can actually keep up with the speeding toy car for the length of the yard.
"That's how he gets his exercise," Hoke said.
