On Jan. 30, troopers responded to the call on I-40 near Peebly Road.
Troopers say they found the male Great Pyrenees alive, but with several injuries.
Trooper Eric Stacy stopped at a nearby OnCUe to pick up hot dogs for the pup.
Trooper Stacy also contacted Deer Creek Veterinary in Harrah who sent an employee with a chip reader.
The dog did not have a chip.
Trooper Stacy and Lt. Matt White loaded the dog into a patrol car and transported him to the vet.
OHP says the vet is currently evaluating the dog's injuries.
The female companion of the Great Pyrenees was also hit by a passing car but did not survive the impact.
