Overview
- MassDOT surveillance video shows the black-and-white dog on the East Boston side running toward oncoming vehicles and narrowly avoiding collisions.
- Massachusetts State Police quickly blocked traffic inside the tunnel, and the dog ultimately jumped into a cruiser after a trooper left a rear door open.
- The incident occurred during Thursday’s morning commute and caused a temporary stoppage as drivers and troopers worked to remove the hazard.
- Boston Animal Care and Control took custody of the dog, located the owner, and says the pup will be returned to its family.
- A person is seen on video following the animal, but it is not confirmed whether that individual was the owner, and news outlets have requested more details from state police.
