A canine came to their family’s rescue when they needed it most.

According to a July 13Facebookpost from the Maine State Police, a two-car rollover accident occurred on a section of Interstate 95 near Lincoln, Maine, on July 10. The crash ejected a dog from one of the vehicles involved in the accident. After the impact sent the dog out of the vehicle, the pet ran in front of state trooper Chris Pina’s cruiser parked on the highway, which eventually led Pina to the site of the crash.

The Facebook post added that Pina stopped the canine from re-entering traffic, took a look at the dog, and observed that the pet was covered in mud and scratches. Initially, the trooper thought the dog must have escaped or gotten lost until he noticed a man on the side of the interstate calling for help.
