Dog rescued after running in traffic on I-95 in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A runaway dog brought the morning rush on I-95 to a halt Friday.
Video from PennDOT traffic cameras shows the dog stopping traffic in the southbound lanes around 7:30 a.m.
The dog then made its way to the shoulder with police in hot pursuit who managed to corral the canine.
UPDATE: PUP RESCUED! These amazing police officers were able to get the dog walking on I-95 safely into their car after nearly a 30 minutes chase up and down the highway. Thank you @PhillyPolice & all the drivers that slowed down and helped. @CBSPhiladelphia pic.twitter.com/WEvASJ0r3g

After a bit more evading police, the dog finally gave itself up.
Thankfully, drivers were slowing down and staying careful to give the dog a path to safety.
