[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on the news reports, it is believed the leash was clipped to the man's waist/pants.  The dog was apparently an emotional support dog due to the man's childhood trauma.  (based on ABC local news report).

I suspect that the dog was not "trained" in the official sense that a real "service dog" is trained to manage all kinds of situations.  Probably, this was just a dog that the guy liked and the dog probably went on one side of those metal posts/vertical bars in the metro, and the guy with his leash were on the other side... and the dog didn't get untangled from the post before the door closed.

I don't know if we can expect the train conductor to see and notice a leash from several hundred feet away.  Seems like the deceased man had the responsibility to keep his dog close enough to disembark safely.

Tragic all the way around.  Oddly, Channel 7 news reported that the deceased man's daughter didn't take the dog... and that an adoptive home was found.  That seems kind of  strange.  [/quote]

I believe this is an accurate summation of what transpired.

Hope the poor Metro driver is not charged with anything.[/quote]
