Was heading east on 50 through WV around 5PM, I think it was a 65 or 70mph zone. Up ahead at the bottom of the hill I see a four legged creature starting out from the median.
First thought was coyote (funny what distance does to shapes), then dog. I was in the slow lane, started slowing down and hit my four way flashers , so did the truck beside me in the fast lane. Managed to get traffic behind us slowly down to a crawl (man it's nice driving somewhere where people don't have their head up their tucus) and as we approached turned out to be a little Dachsund trying to make it across the road.
He scampered over safely in front of us and kept going. I thought about stopping to try to help him but there was no safe shoulder, and besides I was afraid of scaring him back out into the road. Hope the little guy made it home. Said a silent prayer for Mooseman to watch over him.
