A Chihuahua named Bean is home safe after being rescued from the Staten Island Expressway. Several kind drivers helped ensure that the scared dog was retrieved after he found his way onto the busy New York City highway. Bean escaped from his yard after being spooked by another dog. He crawled through a hole in the fence. Terrifyingly, the Chihuahua ended up making his way onto the busy highway. Although the story could have had a heartbreaking ending, many drivers stopped to help the small dog. Over 20 cars blocked traffic so that the pup would not be struck by a fast-moving vehicle. Several people attempted to catch the Chihuahua, who managed to evade them. Eventually, Bean was apprehended and reunited with his humans.
