A dog fell under a moving train as its owner tried to jump on board from the platform.
The man was seen standing in the station with his pet pooch as the loco started to depart.
He ran along the platform trying to hop through an open door, but his confused dog sat down and was pulled along on its bottom.

The animal then slipped over the edge of the platform and the owner tried to lift it up by its lead.
But the leash came off and the dog plunged under the train and onto the tracks.
The worried owner scanned the scene for his pooch as the train picked up speed, as reported by Need To Know.
He apparently noticed it a few feet away and waited for the Rajdhani Express locomotive to leave the platform.
The distressing incident took place at Mumbai Central railway station in Mumbai, India.
Miraculously, the dog was rescued from the tracks and was not seriously harmed, according to local reports.
One local said: “Relieved to know the dog is safe.”
Dilip added: “He did not intentionally harm the dog, instead he tried to save it.”
Yes Shajan said: “Idiot of the first order.”
