He quickly activated his lights and siren to alert the driver who stopped and was notified about the dog in tow. A very grateful owner retrieved his pet and expressed deep appreciation for the officer’s efforts.

The driver was distracted and headed towards the interstate forgetting to unleash his dog. No charges are being sought.
