One of the reasons that non-seeing eye dogs are only allowed on the subways is carriers and bags is because of what almost happened about 10 seconds after this picture. The boy and the dog here noticed each other and seemed to hit it off. When the kid was about to walk out of the door at the 59th and Lex stop, the little pooch leaped out of the seat and almost got squashed in “the closing doors”.

I don’t think she’ll make that mistake again.
