A truck driver was shot at least twice by another driver on I-75 on Wednesday. His dog, Suzy, was in the cab of the truck with him — and when she ran off into the woods after the shooting, a passerby caught her. She’ll be reunited with her family soon. (Cobb County Police Department)

COBB COUNTY, GA — A man driving a tractor-trailer on Interstate 75 through Cobb County on Wednesday was shot at least twice by another driver, who continued down the interstate. But the trucker wasn’t the only one in the cab of the truck — his beloved “road dog,” Suzy, was there, too.

The shooting shut down I-75 near Wade Green Road for at least two hours Wednesday afternoon, and the truck driver was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. Cobb police are still working to identify the suspect and the suspect’s car.

Family members of the driver told WSB-TV that Suzy ran off into the woods after the shooting. The man had rescued Suzy from a truck stop, and she keeps him company on the road.

WSB-TV posted Suzy’s photo on Facebook, and it was shared more than 10,000 times. Sara Weinschenk said she found Suzy running on I-75 in Bartow County, and she shared photos of her with WSB-TV, which contacted the driver’s family.
