A missing dog named Moose is safely back home after a dramatic rescue by New York Police Department officers beneath a subway train in Manhattan.
The small black dog slipped away from its owners and ended up hiding under a northbound 2 train at the 14th Street station Thursday.
The animal was hit by the train before seeking refuge beneath one of the cars, a spokesperson for the NYPD told People magazine.
