One of the worst nightmares for a pet owner recently came true in China, and it has come as a warning for many around the world.
You know how you always hear of people getting caught in escalators, or they suddenly stop, and people go hurtling forward? This time it’s a little pooch that got its feet stuck in a small gap on an escalator in China.

Okay, so the first thing that went through my mind when reading this story was: why was the dog behind the owners? Usually, if a dog is on a leash or walking with its owners, shouldn't it be in front of them?
Thankfully, the quick-thinking owner pushed the emergency stop button and firefighters rushed to the scene to free the little dog.
The sad thing is that the little pooch ended up losing six out of eight toes on its hind legs. But at least it got free.
