A man was driving down a road next to train tracks when he saw some movement on the tracks. He wasn’t sure what was happening so he whistled to try and make the animal move. He assumed the animal was a deer who was just hanging out near the tracks unaware that a train was rapidly approaching.

To the man’s surprise, a pair of ears perked up where he thought there as a deer and he realized that the dog was tied to the tracks. The man watched in his rear view mirror as the train started to gain on him. He would have to act fast to rescue the dog.
