Weird N' Wacky

One of these stories is made up, can you guess which one?

Story 1

A couple received a caution from police for trying to teach their dog to drive. Traffic police spotted a car driving too slowly on a local highway. As they pulled in behind the car, officers were amazed to see a poodle with its front legs on the steering wheel. The dog's rear legs were resting on the female driver who was controlling the foot pedals.

Story 2

At 100-grand a year, you'd think the maintenance man could afford his own place. But the worker lived in a paint shed at a hospital for three years. According to the official report, the maintenance man earned 100-thousand dollars last year working for the Rockland Psychiatric Center, north of New York City. Police say he made himself at home in the shed with a couch, microwave and refrigerator. He had been staying there rent free. He's moved out, but he's being charged 25-hundred dollars for shed squatting.

Story 3

Vernon Barker has given up his beloved pet Spike! Spike is not a dog or a cat, but a porcupine. Barker adopted the porcupine when it was just tiny, after finding it abandoned by it's mother. He's cared for the prickly creature for up to a year but now finds it difficult to handle. Trips to the vet have become more challenging as the porcupine gets bigger and the vet has even been expressed concerns after being pricked several times by it's quills.

Which story do you think is False?
