Bean escaped from his yard after being spooked by another dog. He crawled through a hole in the fence. Terrifyingly, the Chihuahua ended up making his way onto the busy highway. 

Although the story could have had a heartbreaking ending, many drivers stopped to help the small dog. Over 20 cars blocked traffic so that the pup would not be struck by a fast-moving vehicle. Several people attempted to catch the Chihuahua, who managed to evade them. Eventually, Bean was apprehended and reunited with his humans.
