Officials of the Chinatown animal shelter are trying to find out how a dog whose gender was not mentioned was caught by several drivers and a motorcyclist who were chasing a dog that was seen running on the Pasadena Highway on Wednesday May 22. The dog was taken by a concerned motorist and taken to the animal shelter safe and sound. The bittersweet part of this story is that it is not known if the dog was returned to its owner or how the dog was seen running on a highway with the good part being that the dog did not suffer any injuries while running on the highway since the motorists were careful not to harm the dog.

The dog would have been very confused running on the highway.

I'm glad no one was hurt while they captured the dog and took it to the animal shelter. I hope the shelter can return the dog to its owner.

I also hope that the dog can be reunited with its owner as well.

It is hard to catch a wayward, confused dog like that, and they did well to catch it, and hand it to people who can help it.
