GALT, Calif. โ Authorities are looking for the owner of a German shepherd dog that was rescued from the median of a Northern California highway after falling from a truck about five weeks ago.
KTLA reports that she's been named Freeway Frida because she eluded capture among the oleander bushes on a Highway 99 median in Galt since April 10.
Galt police officer Sylvia Coelho says the California Highway patrol assisted the department with her capture Saturday. She weighed 44 pounds when she was found, much less than normal weight for her size and breed. She is also being treated for a broken leg. She is estimated to be about 5 years old.
The brown-eyed girl is now recovering at an animal hospital near Sacramento. Dr. Mike Johnson, medical director at the animal hospital, says it's obvious she is looking for her home.
