Ready, Steady, Think

Once in a while, an awesome riddle comes along and gives your brain that much-needed workout. A workout that is not work/family/friends/life-related but simply, a workout that helps to divert your everyday worries to something that is fun yet innocently stressful. It's a chance to digress from work and be lazy. Yet, you're not actually being lazy because you're working your brains.

Today while at lunch with a friend, one of such riddles popped up.

Unable to solve it during lunch hour, i borrowed a pen from the waiter, jotted it down on a tissue and clipped it next to my computer so i can study it while working. Bad idea. I was so darn concentrated on solving the darn puzzle that i could barely focus on work!

Few hours later, somewhere inside my brains, a light bulb went off (the answer is actually, pretty obvious). The feeling was amazing - it's like i've just discovered a new country or something! All the hours of stressing and thinking finally paid off!

If your brain needs a break too, this is the question i am posing to you today:

A black dog is standing in the middle of a junction, in a town that is painted black. The street lights are out because of a power outage. A car is speeding towards the dog. Its headlights are broken. Yet, it manages to spot the dog in time and made a turn to avoid hitting the dog. How is this possible?
