TORONTO — A dog who became trapped on TTC subway tracks and caused a brief transit shutdown Tuesday has been put down due to her injuries.
TTC spokesman Brad Ross said a German shepherd became stuck under the electrified third rail in a tunnel just south of the station at around 2 p.m. Tuesday.
Crews cut power and Toronto Animal Services attended the scene. The dog, named Katie, was removed on a stretcher.
