Loose dog on I-15 caught, treated for leg injury

The pup was seen happily trotting along State Route 201, then onto southbound I-15. Utah Highway Patrol said he jumped over the barrier and onto the northbound side of the freeway near 2100 South.UHP troopers responded to the area and slowed traffic so they could safely capture him. He was then turned over to animal control and taken to a veterinarian to have his leg injury treated.Several people got out of their cars to try to catch the dog.

"An animal in traffic can be very dangerous, however we urge the public to please stay in their vehicles and do not try to get the animal themselves," Cpl. Tara Wahlberg said in a message to FOX 13 News."It is better to wait for Troopers so we can stop traffic if needed."

He's a better driver then the human drivers around here ! He only changes lanes every few feet and goes at least 70.

The only time Utah drivers do something smart
