Any dog owner's worse nightmare is having your beloved pet slip the leash on a crowded city street and run off in the middle of traffic.

A man who was participating on NYC Adventure eBike Tours with his wife, saw a dog escaping from its owner's arms on the East Side around the Kips Bay/Stuy Town area.

He uploaded a video on Youtube that showed the whole adventure. The man was using a go-pro camera and recorded the whole wild chase down the streets of Manhattan as the pup haplessly ran into traffic.

"After I rescued the dog and returned him back to his owner, we were excepting a big gigantic thank you, but that never happened."

Millions of pets killed on the roads every year

The Good Samaritan confessed that he had expected the owner to be more effusively, but the other man took the dog, threw him a casual "Thanks!" and walked away.

Approximately 1.2 million dogs are killed on the roads in the United States each year, most of them run over by cars on busy roads.
