A routine truck enforcement stop took a sad turn last week when a truck driver’s dog managed to escape — but a California Highway Patrol officer went out of her way to make sure that the story had a happy ending.

From CHP – San Luis Obispo

“On Friday May 4, 2018, in the afternoon a Commercial Sergeant made enforcement stop on a semi-truck Southbound US-101 going down the Cuesta Grade for unsafe speed. During the enforcement stop, a little Yorkie Chihuahua mix (Daisy), fell out of the semi and ran northbound on the shoulder. The Commercial Sergeant drove north one mile and started searching for Daisy with no luck. He was relieved by Sergeant Robyn Lescher, who after two hours located Daisy, calmed her down and was able to catch her. SGT Lescher took Daisy home for the night and that next morning met the owner at Shandon to reunite the two. SGT Lescher defiantly saved Daisy’s life! Thank you SGT Lescher for going above and beyond and instilling Public Trust!
