Playing dogs stop traffic on Phoenix highway

Dec. 11 (UPI) -- Traffic came to a halt on a Phoenix highway when a pack of six dogs wandered into the roadway to frolic and play.

The Arizona Department of Transportation tweeted a traffic camera image Monday showing the six dogs, which were of various breeds and sizes, running loose in front of stopped vehicles on Interstate 17.

Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers responded to the scene and were able to corral four of the dogs, while two canines fled the area.

DPS and Marciopa County Animal Care & Control said they do not know where the dogs came from. Officials are working to identify the owner or owners of the four captured canines.
