The footage shows the dog named Sophie leap out of the car window, tumbling down the freeway lanes and stopping -- right before getting hit by an oncoming semi-truck.
The truck then slowed down and Sophie ran to the side of the freeway where she was quickly reunited with her family. Miraculously, she was OK.
The family had been fostering her, but because of their connection through this intense event, they decided to keep little Sophie for good.
