Crews cut power and Toronto Animal Services attended the scene. The dog, named Katie, was removed on a stretcher.
The veterinarian, Dr. Greg Usher said putting Katie down was “the kindest thing we could have done.”
Ross said the dog wandered away from home sometime this morning, but did not specify how she reached the tracks.
