The video shows the pooch chomping down on a woman’s shoe for several seconds as straphangers yell at the animal’s handler.

“Get the dog off of her!” yells one woman.

“Call the police!” another man screams.

The train descends into chaos as riders try to get away from the dog. A man sitting next to the woman with her shoe in the dog’s mouth pulls hard on her leg to try to shake the beast off.

The dog finally releases near the end of the video and the animal’s handler tries to get it back into a crate while other riders continue to scream at him.

MTA officials, who didn’t know where and when the incident happened, called

1. Oh ... nvr mind

2. WRONG!

That's not the way to "pull" a dog off. And you sure as hell don't pull the shoe. That's like saying, "Hey dog, let's play tug o war". This owner did not know what he was doing. People yelling and screaming didn't help either. What a shitshow.

3. i could see the dogs tail wagging. he/she seemed to having fun. big tug of way with 20 folks

8. Did you see what happened at the end?

They finally got the shoe off the woman, and the dog dropped it. The owner lifts the shoe up, and the dog's eyes follow the shoe. That dog wanted to play with that particular shoe. And when the owner throws the shoe back to the woman, the dog wants to chase after it.

9. that was a happy dog. I played with a lab dog. Tug of war was his favorite.

he'd hand me one side of his toy and start tugging like crazy. He'd do that same head shake.

12. I agree with you. The dog seems to be playing a tug of war game

and dogs playing that game don't want to give up their position in the game. The screaming and yelling people were adding to the drama of the situation imo.

10. But the owner let that dog loose?

I have a Pomeranian and before that a Yorkie, but I wouldn't have let either of those little babies loose in a subway. Dogs, no matter how small, can bite.

15. So true about dogs biting. Many dogs in a perceived fearful situation

can fear bite. This pitbull in the video needed to be contained and controlled by his owner.

7. They must fit into a bag

5. I know what the pit bull owners say,

but their tenacity when they do turn makes them a breed I would never have.

11. No apology treats the person his dog is biting like shit and throws the shoe back at her

Happy playful dog I don't care

14. probably concentrating on getting his big dog under control

[pnwmom]

16. He needs to get that dog into serious training classes. No one should have a big strong dog

like that isn't under control.
