I just called highway patrol

There was a boxer in the median of the interstate. He was just standing there, not running around or anything. I hope they can get him before he runs into traffic. Poor puppy.

DH almost took the next exit to turn around and get him. Realistically, I think we did the right thing. We are in a pickup and have our 85 lbs dog with us. She takes the whole backseat. And it would be safer for both us and the pup, right? That was the best thing.

I'm bawling now.

You did the right thing, stopping and getting out of your car on a busy highway is really dangerous.

Hopefully they have got him by now. Logically, I know it was right. But I am so scared for him.

I really hope they sent someone. But, I think they would just for the safety factor of cars, too. He was a big dog, and it would be dangerous for cars if he ran out.

You did the right thing, but like you, I would want to pull over and get the dog. I have a soft spot in particular for Boxers.

You did the right thing, that would have been dangerous if you got out.

This happens a lot where we live and always makes me sad. I have chased animals on the median before but have never had luck catching them. Hopefully it was friendly and they were able to get her. Most of the officers I work with love animals and would handle this situation well. I even work with one who found his dog this way and kept it when nobody claimed him.
