A police officer in La Porte, Texas, helped save a dog that was in trouble on a busy freeway.
Cujo, jittery rat terrier, drifted all the way up to Spencer Highway, a short drive in a car, but a long walk for a little dog with a hip that forces him to toddle around with a slight waddle. Somehow he crossed the busy road and started walking in a moving lane of traffic.
Officer Kyle Jones, who happened to be driving by, made a quick decision: He spun his car around and blocked traffic on the busy highway to save the life of a lost dog.

Saved more than just this dogs life many times folks swerve to miss animals both alive and hit on the roadway. I remember in the 60's allot of young teens used to play pull the skunk around Halloween prank and a very dangerous one - which was a black sock filled with leaves with a while piece of adhesive tape on it...Pulled across roadways usually from some young teens hidden in hedges. I remember the patrolman coming to our school and talking about how serious this is people get hurt and possibly killed...taking evasive action...I never heard anymore about pull a skunk after that from any one in my school after the talk...So sometimes just communication these items makes a major difference and safety for all! Thank you Officer Jones - now if I could only remember that big Irish cop who talked at our school but this was in 1965-66...:-)
