ADOT employee Rich Dimaio was on-duty, traveling Phoenix-area highways, when a call came out for a dog on the freeway.
Dimaio, who is a member of ADOT’s incident Response Unit, sponsored by GEICO, responded to the call on I-10 eastbound near 40th Street where Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers had already surrounded the dog in the median.
Dimaio took the dog, a young, female German Shepherd, to Maricopa County Animal Care & Control.
