Owner sought after dog retrieved from M5 motorway

Police officers are hoping to reunite a dog with its owner after the animal was retrieved from the M5 motorway in the early hours of today (Tuesday).

A PSNI spokesperson said: “Roads Policing officers from Steeple were contacted around midnight as ‘Jodie’ was running around on the live lanes of the M5 motorway.

"Thankfully a few concerned motorists managed to corral Jodie and she awaits collection once an owner has been identified.

"Jodie is chipped, but would have been hard to spot on the carriageway especially at speed!”
