A distressed and dusty dog was rescued from under a train in a Manhattan subway station by police after somehow getting onto the tracks during the morning rush hour Thursday — with the emotional rescue captured on police bodycam footage exclusively obtained by the Daily News.
The petrified pup was rescued by officers from the NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit after a bystander called 911 to report a dog hit by a northbound 2 train at the 14th St. subway station near Union Square around 9:45 a.m., according to police. Mercifully, the dark gray, curly haired dog — who appeared to be a labradoodle — was found unharmed, curled up on the tracks under the train, cops said.
The dog — named Moose — somehow wound up on the tracks after running away from his doggy day care facility when someone left the door open, according to a police source. “The dog decided to take the train,” the source said. “I guess he wanted to go home.”
Moose was later reunited with his owner.
