Within seconds she realized the reason, behind the slowdown. A German shepherd had somehow managed to escape from its owners house and feeling disoriented, ended up in the middle of the road. Sadly another driver unintentionally ran over the dog causing it to flee the scene in fear.

Debbie knew she couldn’t let the poor puppy remain at risk like that. Without hesitation she pulled over. Stepped out of her vehicle to help the injured animal. “I saw a dog in the middle of the road and it was visibly limping indicating that it had been hit ” she shared with WXYZ. “Its position, on the road made it evident that it had been involved in an accident.”In a statement the woman mentioned that she had originally planned to meet a client at work that day.

Some unexpected circumstances occurred that altered her plans. Soon as she stepped out of her car and began approaching the dog all the vehicles came to a halt. The frightened puppy quickly ran away, from the scene.
Despite this setback the man. Continued chasing after the dog until he successfully caught him and found a spot by the side of the track. Fortunately the Michigan State Police arrived after to provide assistance for the investigation. “I sat down next to the dog reassuring him that he was safe and urging him to look at me of searching for an escape route ” he recalled. “I repeatedly told him that he was secure and asked him to make eye contact, with me.”

Based on Allens observations it was evident that the German Shepherd had recently been separated from its owners. The dog appeared to be well nourished, clean and surprisingly gentle despite feeling fearful at the moment.
During the incident the Society, for the Protection of Animals (SPCA) was present and able to provide care for the dogs wounds. They ensured his safety. Removed him from the area securely. However since the dog didn’t have a microchip the process of finding his family has become more challenging. Nevertheless they are determined to locate them and reunite them with their pet. This task requires efforts to gather and bring them together.
Debbie herself came to the realization that she’s an ordinary human being and not a hero.
