A little chihuahua named Bean had been spooked by another dog and ran out onto the Staten Island Expressway on Dec. 5.

Bean can be seen running down the highway, spooked by the cars around him.

Motorists were slowing down with their hazard lights on so they could drive alongside the terrified dog but the noise of the engines and honking continued to spook little Bean.

Drivers also stopped on the expressway and tried to grab the dog but Bean continued to run.

Eventually, a few drivers slowed down to form a barrier, shielding Bean from fast-moving traffic so they were able to pick up the dog.
