INDIA, Calif. (AP) — Officials say a 78-year-old man tied a puppy to train tracks in the California desert, and an engineer had to use emergency brakes to keep from crushing it.
Riverside County animal control said in a statement Tuesday that Banjo, a 10-month-old poodle-terrier mix, is fine and up for adoption.
The train was near Mecca on April 2 when the engineer saw a man walking away from the tracks and stopped.
