ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. (KKTV) – With the help a few good Samaritans, a dog survived a scary morning on the lam completely unscathed!
Calls began pouring into the Arapahoe County dispatch center around 10 a.m. Tuesday reporting a dog running in traffic on eastbound I-70 near E-470.
“The dog was in the number one lane with cars going about 75 mph,” the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office said.
Drivers slammed on their brakes and swerved to avoid hitting the pup, and soon, several people pulled over to try to rescue the dog.
“Traffic was backed up to East Colfax Avenue for about a quarter-mile while drivers tried for nearly 30 minutes to catch the pup,” the sheriff’s office said. “One good Samaritan somehow managed to corral the dog and get him on a leash.”
The pup was then put in the back of an Arapahoe County sheriff’s deputy’s car, where he sat safe and sound until animal control officers could get on scene.
What a pawesome good ending for that lucky pup!
