While the man could have called authorized personnel to remove and rescue the dog, the driver instead stopped the train, descended on the tracks and rescued the dog himself.

The heroic act was recorded by train commuter Vanesa Lira Machuca and later uploaded her Facebook account.

On the video, you can see the hero man approach the scared pooch. The man calls the pet over but when the dog doesn’t move he slowly reaches for the dog and hopes not to get bitten. Fortunately, the dog welcomed the rescue and the train conductor grabbed the dog by the skin of the neck and lifted him to safety. Another train worker received the dog and helped saved the pooch.

When the driver got back on the train, he made the following announcement:
“I apologize for the delay, but I couldn’t just run over the dog.”

All passengers applauded the man. He is a true hero!

According to local reports, the dog entered the train station with his owner even though the pet was not a service dog. The companion pet accidentally fell over the edge and landed in the tracks, and because of the height of the train’s platform, the dog was unable to jump out on his own.

The dog’s owner, a woman dressed in red, can be seen calling her dog and trying to catch him while the pet attempts to jump out of the tracks, but a security guard asks her to step away from the edge.

A young woman on the other side of the tracks is concerned about the dog’s life. No one knows for sure if incoming trains have been stopped and all commuters fear the dog will soon die. We can hear the young woman ask if the tracks are electrified and after someone says no, she jumps in, secures the pet and lifts him out of the tracks and into safety. The woman is then helped out of the tracks by the security guard.

Everyone is relieved the pet and the heroic woman were not harmed. Many say the woman was very courageous and her actions were what saved the pet. However, the metro line is penalizing the young hero for violating the law.

The metro line says that for the safety of everyone, the woman and all other commuters had to step back and allow authorized personnel to secure the train line first and then they would attempt a rescue. However, witnesses say train authorities did not respond on time and that’s why they stepped in.

Local animal lovers are now criticizing the metro line and the legal systems for penalizing the heroic woman for doing what they were afraid to do – risk their lives for the live of a dog.

The dog had been shot twice, once in the neck and once in the shoulder. The gunshot wounds were critical, and the dog had lost a lot of blood. The police freed the dog from the tracks and rushed her to emergency veterinary care. Watch the video below for the full story. http://youtu.be/IV1WQmP_dhE The poor thing!
