[nagdu] Man and dog fell onto tracks

[Darla Rogers]

Dear Tracy,

	Does New  York have any detectable warnings?  I am not a real
experienced subway traveler, but I can easily see, in crowds, how one could
be pushed or slip off the platform.
	I have only done New York subways with Seeing Eye Instructor;
because President Obama was in town we had to be in a less busy part of the
city; I can't imagine doing this every day.
	I pray both the gentleman and his dog have no permanent injuries.
Darla & Happy Huck

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.
Tracy
