Motorists along MIA Road in Pasay City found themselves in the middle of an unexpected rescue operation on Wednesday, 2 September, when two runaway dogs darted into oncoming traffic. The pair, later identified as Joe, a male Pomeranian, and Sethie, a female Pug, had managed to slip away after the lock on their enclosure broke.
Footage captured by nursing student Lianne shows the adventurous duo sprinting along the busy roadway, closely pursued by a woman attempting to catch up with them.
As the scene unfolded, passing drivers and motorcycle riders stepped in to assist. One driver went so far as to park his vehicle mid-route and hop out to join the pursuit on foot, helping to slow the animals down and prevent a potential accident.
