Well I forgot to post this, but it happened about a week ago. I was on my way to work, and take I35 and then take the exit ramp to another freeway. I was on the entrance ramp getting on, and there are quite a few cars behind me, alot of traffic. Well the car in front of me starts slowing down a ton, and I see there is something in front of him. As I start to slow down and everyone behind me I see its a DOG! He had a collar and I believe a leash on! There are 2 lanes and I'm in the left and the guy in front slowed down and went around the dog because he wasn't moving. So then the dog is in front of me. I felt so extremely bad for the dog, being a huge animal lover. Without even thinking I get out of my car, the dog starts to come towards me, and I am trying to grab him. Well the dog freaks out because hes probably so scared and he runs in front of my car and into the right lane. Well what is there coming? A moving TRUCK! The guy is going 70, I am stopped in the left lane backing up traffic and had my hazards on. The dog SOMEHOW missing the truck and jumps out of the way. I don't think you could have gotten any closer to having his legs hit if hes a dog. At that point the dog is really freaked out now and goes over to the right out of the lanes where there is grass. I would have probably got hit by a car if I went into that right lane after the dog, there was nothing I could do but hope for the best that he would stay in the grass and be picked up and not be stupid enough to go in the lanes again. So I get in my car and head off, and about 100 feet ahead there is a lady pulled over and she is walking back to get the dog. Just wanted to share the story, I hope the little doggy is OK, he was rather cute.
