Unbeknown to Officer Jones, a nearby motorist took a photo of the officer's kindhearted gesture. A short time later, the photo of Officer Jones attempting to wrangle the stubborn little pooch was at the top of the popular social network Reddit.

has more details. Cujo, the dog, had escaped his home on Monday
morning. One of his owners, Jeremy Zapalac, organized a search party in
the neighborhood. But after an hour, it started to rain. "He hates
water," Zapalac said of the rat terrier.
The dog had wandered over to a nearby highway. Fortunately, Officer
Jones saw the small dog, stopped his car (and traffic), and generally
went the extra mile to make sure he got home safely.
