Seems okay to me. I don't think pedandry is supposed to go that far nowadays. When I was a kid (metaphicically, not a young goat), my cousin had a teacher who abhored contractions (not the labour pains kind) and insisted that a pram should always be described as a perambulator. I asked him [my cousin that is] to ask the teacher if he came to school on the omnibus or in a motor-carriage? I don't think he ever dared. How about... "I saw a dog, driving to work this morning."
