Watch: NYPD Officers Heroically Save Missing Dog Moose from Manhattan Subway Tracks

After a thrilling rescue operation by New York Police Department officers, a missing dog named Moose has been safely reunited with its family following a harrowing incident beneath a Manhattan subway train.

The petite black canine managed to escape its owners and took cover under a northbound 2 train at the 14th Street station on Thursday. The dog was struck by the train but then sought shelter under one of its cars, according to an NYPD spokesperson who spoke with People Magazine.

“When Moose the dog got loose and took refuge under a 2 train, our [NYPD Special Ops Emergency Service Unit] officers were on hand to perform the rescue,” the NYPD shared on X.

Bodycam footage released by the NYPD shows an officer climbing down a ladder onto the tracks, shining a flashlight to search for the missing pup.

“Where is it?” the officer can be heard saying before spotting the small dog hiding in the shadows.

“Come here,” the officer says, luring the dog. “Come on. Come on buddy.”

Moments later, the officer scoops Moose up and carries him away from the tracks, before lifting him onto the subway platform where other officers are standing.

“Yay!” one person can be heard saying.

Moose was showered with pats before being reunited with his owners, according to People Magazine.

“Thanks to [NYPD Transit] officers, Moose was safely reunited with its owner!” the NYPD posted to X.

Earlier this year, NYPD officers similarly jumped into action to save a small dog that was spotted swimming in the East River, according to FOX 5. 

The NYPD did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
