Dog named Meatball dies after hitting third rail in Manhattan subway stop, NYPD says

awww man ... this is so sad . I mean, who wants their furry friend to get electrocuted on the subway? but on a more positive note , maybe this incident will prompt some change in the way pet owners handle their pets on public transport . like, it's not just about following rules , but making sure our poor pups stay safe . and I love how people are coming together to share their thoughts ... maybe we can all learn from each other ?

ugh dont blame the dog ownerz here! they're not the 1s at fault its mta & nypd who r enforcin rules to tight . meatball could've been saved if ppl took a sec to check those rails before lettin ur furry friend get too comfy . btw, dont be so quick to judge. some dog owners do know better & are just having bad days . we should b thinkin' 'bout how 2 improve subway safety 4 both humans & animals

OMG u guys, this is like a dog-gone disaster ! Like, what even happened to Meatball? One sec you're chillin' in the subway with your human and the next thing you know, you're getting zapped by third rail . Anyways, gotta feel for that poor pup's fam . But can we talk about how some ppl r like "huh?" when it comes to following the rules? Like, if u wanna bring ur furry friend on the subway, just make sure they're secure in a carrier, geez! Don't be that person who's all "oh no, my dog got electrocuted" and then proceeds to carry them around like they're a purse .

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this...dog dies on subway tracks because owner didn't follow the rules . It's not like Meatball was just chillin' with its owner, having a good time...it was literally right next to the third rail . I feel for the owner, but come on...use common sense . If you're gonna bring your dog on the subway, do it safely and follow the rules. It's not that hard .

Ugh, another disaster at the subway ! Can't believe people can't even be bothered to follow the simple rules... I mean, come on, if you're gonna bring your furry friend with you, make sure they're safe and not going to electrocute themselves . And yeah, it's always a non-issue for some owners, but that's just irresponsible . The system is already too lax when it comes to enforcing these rules... it's like, hello! Pets are living creatures too, not just an accessory . Why can't the MTA do better than this?
