Yeah it's a whole thing where you pick a puppy from a big group of them when you register for driving school and you care for the puppy while you're taking classes and all that. You get a collar for the dog when you pass the written exam.

They even hand you the gun to do the job yourself if you fail the practical exam. They make the instructors wear bulletproof armor just in case you turn on them, but it's a social democracy so if you fail the test and use the one bullet on the instructor in an act of dramatic protest they just charge your credit card for an ebike with a dog basket and send you off. Fat tires for the snow conditions of course.
