Ohio Trooper Rescues Dog from Busy Highway

On May 8, 2025, an Ohio State trooper performed a remarkable rescue on a busy highway. The trooper, whose name has not been released, was patrolling when they noticed a dog wandering dangerously close to speeding vehicles. Dashcam footage shows the trooper carefully approaching the frightened animal, using calming gestures to guide it to safety. "The officer kind of coaxed the dog over, away from traffic, and got him to the cruiser," an Ohio State Highway Patrol spokesperson stated. Once in the cruiser, the dog, seemingly unfazed, even jumped into the driver's seat. The dog was later reunited with its overjoyed owner. This incident highlights the dedication and compassion of Ohio's state troopers, who go above and beyond their duties to protect both people and animals.
