WASHINGTON D.C. - There was a wildly adorable chase down a busy highway in Maryland, but the culprit was no human.
It was a little dog."Astro," a Shih Tzu-poodle mix who is a year and half old, led firefighters in a game of cat-and-mouse on a closed portion of Interstate 495 in Washington D.C.
According to Officials said the ordeal started when they responded to a multi-vehicle crash on the highway Friday.The dog was initially placed in a fire department vehicle for his safety.
Meanwhile, the owner, Liyah Young, who was involved in the crash, was heading to a nearby hospital with minor injuries.At one point, someone opened the door to the fire department's vehicle, and that's when Astro ran out, leading firefighters on a high-speed run.
