Wiener Dog and Cat seen together on I40W in Ozark Area

Hey everyone — I apologize if this isn’t the best place to share this, but sharing in case this helps someone recover their pets.

My fiancée was driving through the Ozark/Ozark AR area on I-40W earlier this afternoon around 3-3:30PM and saw a small dachshund/wiener dog and a cat together in the grassy median/strip of land between the I-40 eastbound (I think) and westbound lanes.

She tried to pull over safely and look for the dog but couldn’t locate them again. It’s possible they went into an open sewer line that was nearby.

Approx location: [between Exit 35 (AR-23) and Exit 37 (AR-219)] / [near mile marker ~36 / near the westbound rest area] (I’m trying to confirm the exact spot). 

If you know someone missing a dachshund (and/or a cat) in this area, please share.

Safety note: please don’t stop on the interstate shoulder unless it’s safe/legal — we don’t want anyone hurt. If the pets are still near traffic, contacting local authorities/animal control may be safest.
