DENVER — A dog was running in traffic along westbound Highway 36 near Federal Boulevard, Denver7 Traffic Expert Jayson Luber spotted on Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) cameras Thursday morning.

Denver7 has confirmed the dog has been reunited with its grateful owner.

The dog began trotting westbound on the eastbound side of Highway 36 near Pecos Street, according to Luber.

Some drivers slowed down and stopped to try and help the dog, Luber said. However, the dog got off the highway around Federal Boulevard into what looked like a nearby neighborhood.

It appeared the dog may be a Bullmastiff or similarly large dog, Luber said.
