A loose dog dodging traffic on a busy road has been reunited with its owners after being rescuedthis morning.

The labrador was causing problems on the A26 near Southborough Common at 8am, but was plucked to safety by passing driver Matt Walker.

He put the pet into his car and on to Dacre House Vets in High Brooms.

The dog, which seemed fit and healthy, was not wearing a collar. It is thought the animal had escaped from a house, or during a walk.

It has now been reunited with its owners.
