Watch a Group of Motorcyclists Save a Dog on the Highway

— -- A group of bikers showed their softer side when they stopped traffic on a highway to help save a runaway dog.

A video of the incident was posted online and shows a group of more than eight bikers who spread across a highway and chased after a dog that had escaped from a nearby car.

The group tried to keep the small dog within their makeshift motorcycle circle but the dog was able to evade capture for about a minute. At one point it tries running into another section of the highway and the motorcyclists stop traffic in that lane as a precaution.

Details about the incident are scarce but the motorcyclist who appears to have filmed the incident is heard speaking Brazilian Portuguese and the surroundings suggests that it takes place on a highway near Sao Bernardo.
