A dog caused a lot of trouble for East Valley drivers on Monday.
The black lab was seen roaming the US 60 at Gilbert Road area for about 30 minutes. Traffic was backed up while drivers slowed down to avoid the dog.
According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the dog was under a truck at one point and tried to bite a driver who was trying to capture it.
The dog was finally captured near Stapley Drive after a driver and DPS troopers cornered it. (Watch video of the rescue in the player above)
Air15 video showed the dog being transported to a Maricopa County animal shelter.

Best photo yet of our "Freeway Fido" (who maybe should be "Fida" because it's a girl!) @abc15 #FreewayFido pic.twitter.com/SOh6Z0QGvh
