Loi said that she received a call from a driver who spotted Katsu running on the highway, 

Although she couldn't rush down in time, she thanked the various drivers and traffic police who helped to catch Katsu. 

"So many motorcyclists stopping; drivers and passengers putting their hands out, stopping the traffic behind, they helped to corner Katsu with the police. 

"It's because of all of your help that Katsu could come back to me. I may not know you, and you may not know my dog, but I just want you to know that I am nothing but grateful and thankful for your effort and kindness," she said in the video.
