First there was Ricardo the bull on the tracks, and now there’s a train-riding dog.
NJ Transit commuters have seen their share of runaway animals. During Thursday morning’s commute, a wayward dog boarded an NJ Transit train.
The dog was spotted at Mountain Station in South Orange at about 7:52 a.m. and rode the train to Hoboken Terminal while following a commuter who was not its owner, NJ Transit police posted on X, formerly Twitter.
So far there has been no success in finding an owner. The dog has no microchip or collar with identification.
