[craig.heaps at comcast.net]

NY Post article says the 60 year old man was too close to the edge and wobbling .. and that the dog was trying to pull him away from the edge.  But when he went onto the tracks, the dog jumped after him.

Subject: [nagdu] Man and dog fell onto tracks 

I just heard a news story on the radio.  A man and his guide dog Orlando, a 
black lab, slipped and fell onto the subway tracks at 145th Street on the A 
line in New York City.  Luckily, the motorman in the oncoming train saw the 
man fall and slowed the train enough so that he wasn't badly hurt.  Both man 
and dog are in the hospital in stable condition. 
The man on the radio said "Seeing Eye dog", but it might be the generic use 
of the term. 
I was very happy to hear all ended well.  I fell on the tracks once myself, 
and it's a scary place to be.
