An adorable dog needed to be saved after he got loose and ran onto the FDR Drive on the East Side of Manhattan on Monday night, cops said.

Daiki, a 4-year-old Shiba Inu, darted into the northbound lanes of the FDR Drive just before the Manhattan Bridge at around 9 p.m. — and a good Samaritan helped save the day, according to police.

Sgt. Carlos Nieves said on Twitter that he arrived to witness Daiki playing in traffic.

“There’s a guy chasing her on the highway,” he wrote. “And the gentleman catches her. First thing he tells me is ‘I’m afraid of dogs.'”

Nieves brought Daiki to safety and was able to locate his owners.

He posted a reunion video to Twitter.

“Just wish I would’ve gotten the good Samaritans name that saved Daiki,” he wrote.
