Watch: Dog rescued from Ted Williams Tunnel
After initially evading capture, the dog eventually hopped into a waiting police cruiser.
A dog made a break down the Ted Williams Tunnel Thursday morning and was promptly scooped up by State Police, according to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.
MassDOT surveillance video shows the black-and-white pooch trotting toward oncoming vehicles before a State Police trooper brings traffic to a standstill to launch a rescue.

MassDOT said the dog was spotted in the tunnel near the East Boston side and was ultimately retrieved safely. State Police did not immediately respond to a request for further information Friday.
