A rooster that spent a night marooned on a northeastern Indiana highway's median was rescued by workers at an animal shelter who feared the bird might wander into traffic and cause an accident.

The Star of Auburn reports that manager Katy Stephenson of the DeKalb Humane Society's Care and Adoption Center got her first call about the rooster along Interstate 69 Monday afternoon. She assumed the bird would eventually fly away.

But when more calls came in Tuesday morning about the rooster,
Stephenson and a co-worker headed to the highway, fearing the bird
could cause a traffic accident. With a sheriff's deputy's help they corralled the rooster within 15 minutes.

The bird, which Stephenson has named "Robby the Rooster," is now staying at her aunt and uncle's farm.
