New York Minute 111 - Unleashed

If you want to see something interesting, walk through New York’s Penn Station. You can always count on something memorable happening there. 

When I arrived last evening after returning from a dinner with out of town friends, I passed a young man standing near the New Jersey Transit ticket counter with a black pit bull on a leash. They looked as though they were waiting for someone.

I decided to stop by the men’s room before catching the subway. I heard a dog barking while I was in the restroom. I wasn’t sure if it was the same dog, but it sounded quite agitated. Someone made a comment: “Wow! That dog is really barking.”

I washed my hands and walked out of the restroom. Just as I stepped back out into the public area, the dog raced past my left leg. He must have slipped his collar or broken the leash. He came so close, I thought that he was going to bite me, but he dashed right past and ran through a corridor that leads to the NJ Transit passenger waiting area. The now panicked owner yelled “holy shit!” as he ran after his emancipated pooch.
