this morning i walked down the LIRR Wyandanch platform towards the back of the train, cuz that's closer to entrance to the 2/3 line @ penn station, and when i got to the waiting awning i passed by 2 animal control trucks, a cop car and a huge stray dog panting with smiley fangs chilling inside the booth. it was obvious what was going to happen, but when they cornered him, he ran out and leaped on to the tracks. twisting his ankle and writhing in pain between rails.
i cringed.
2 fat cops stood around saying OH NO and did nothing for a good 5 minutes until they realized a train was headed this way. balding white cop strolled down the platform waving his flashlight @ the oncoming train with zero urgency. as the oncoming train did little to slow down, the cop decided to wave his flashlight in broad daylight more furiously. the train started to slow down at the last minute but...OOO.
i was so afraid the dog got squished but he didn't. apparently he got up and started limping down the tracks. black fat cop walked after him, continually trailing in distance as his fat ass made no effort to keep up with the dogs limping pace. the 2 dog catchers seemed to have no idea what they were doing regardless of waving around those lasso sticks.
limping dog limped down the tracks. and somehow made it back to the station and back onto the platform. the cops and dog catchers followed lackadaisically and eventually they lost the dog. they got in their cars and left. and the train was 12 minutes late.
it's confirmed. i'm a dog person.
