While driving a remote stretch near Noble, Oklahoma, Alysse Matlock spotted something fluffy moving along the center line.

As she slowed, she realized it was a miniature Australian Shepherd.

Worried for the dog’s safety, she pulled over and coaxed gently for the pup to hop in. The frightened dog bolted instead.

Before the moment slipped away, Alysse snapped a quick photo and later posted it on Facebook, hoping locals might recognize the wanderer.

Replies poured in. Others had seen her too.
