SAN FRANCISCO (KMJ/AP) It was a Bay Area chase, that really went to the dogs. A Chihuahua is in animal custody after leading police on a chase across the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge.
The CHP tweeted the small black dog “led us on quite a chase” on Sunday, and posted a video of it running furiously on the upper level of the bridge as it was trailed by a motorcycle officer.
That video can be seen below:

After the Chihuahua was captured, it was taken to a San Francisco animal shelter.
Staff members named him Ponch, after the CHP officer Frank Poncherello played by Erik Estrada in the TV series “Chips.”
