Aww, a guide dog got pulled onto the Skytrain tracks last week, apparently it happened near my place too:

Looks like he'll be okay, but ouch, a broken nose!
Yeah, I also heard about this on Global news.
I was there very soon after it happened. I saw Palm (the golden Lab) on the Lougheed station platform, under an emergency blanket, with SkyTrain staff at his side. I noticed that he was conscious, but he had abrasions all along one front leg. One of the other people waiting for the SkyTrain mentioned that he was a guide dog, and had been dragged by the SkyTrain. He was put into a large dog carrier and carried away while I was waiting for my SkyTrain to arrive. This incident raises SkyTrain safety concerns in my mind. I've also seen a passenger drop his coat as he exited the SkyTrain, which the doors then closed on, and the coat got dragged away, hanging halfway out of the train.
Erf, poor dog D:

Not so much the broken nose I'm ouching at. More so the punctured lung and broken ribs :/ Poor baby D: I don't know what I would do if something like this ever happened to my pups.
poor dog I wish them a full recovery.
