Jasmine is one pretty girl, and I'm glad her human's rescue had a happy ending.

But... I'm a little worried, too. About six weeks ago, we had a terrible accident on one of the freeways, involving a family in a mini-van who had stopped to rescue a dog at the side of the road. The van (which was not completely off the road) was rear-ended by a pickup truck. One of the children inside died, and another was seriously injured.

Our own CHP asks that people who see a stray animal on a freeway call 911. (It's a traffic hazard, after all.) They carry control sticks and other equipment for catching animals safely.

From the account, it sounds as if Jasmine was rescued from a city street or secondary road. Just remember: YOUR life is important, too!
