It was a ruff day for one dog … who made an impromptu break for it down the Staten Island Expressway before ultimately being saved by some freaked-out motorists.<\/p>\n
In dash cam footage shared to TikTok, drivers are seen trying to divert the runaway chihuahua named Bean to the Clove Road exit … but they’re barking up the wrong tree as the pooch continues scrambling across the jam-packed highway.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Motorists then leap out of their vehicles trying to catch Bean … though he keeps scampering away.<\/p>\n
Finally the efforts pay off, as one good Samaritan grabs him and scoops him inside their car.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Arden Heights resident Katie Marie<\/strong>, whose dash cam captured the footage, told Staten Island Advance Saturday that her instinct kicked in when she saw the dog on the loose … ensuring that it got to safety.<\/p>\n She explained the plan was to keep the dog in the HOV lane to try to exhaust him … and soon, 20 vehicles were trying to do the same in the “extremely wholesome” effort to help out the directionless dog.<\/p>\n Bean’s owner, Tee Richardson, later revealed he ran off after getting spooked by a barking pit bull — and is now home and safe.<\/p>\n
