Dog has adorable reaction to getting in trouble

Toby is a 7-year-old mini Yorkshire Terrier from Northern Ireland who had an adorable reaction to getting in trouble by his owner, Stephanie McGinley. Toby was getting a talking to after running out on the open road — giving her a scare.

A paralyzed dog who was found on train tracks in Philadelphia has recently been adopted.

The dog, Lucky, was abandoned on Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) tracks and stayed there for two days.

Philly Rescue Angels, the non-profit involved in Lucky's recovery, said that SEPTA trains drove over the dog for two days while he ducked.

"Someone has literally dumped this poor dog on the train tracks, he has been laying here for two days," Philly Rescue Angels said. "He has literally been laying his body down and the train has been going over him."

Philly Rescue Angels said they received hundreds of applications to adopt him.
