Pup rescued from Green Line tracks under downtown; reunited with owners
A dog wandering through the Green Line tunnel between Boylston and Park today was rescued thanks to an alert trolley driver and Green Line Inspector Tara Egan, the MBTA reports.
A T spokesman says:
Dog was on the tracks between Boylston and Park. A trolley operator spotted to the dog and notified dispatch. Green Line Inpsector Tara Egan was at Park. She walked down the tracks and picked up the dog. Awaiting Animal Control to pick up the dog.

This one thing is enough for me to forgive a week of annoying commutes. Hope the pup makes its (his? her?) way home soon!
Happy ending
Just updated: Bella the dog and owners reunited.

This could be a great children's book story.
It has all the ingredients.. cute pup, alert T people and reunion with charming family.
Adam, you're slipping!
Should have slugged this one: "Dogged delay on Green Line; passengers agree that's fine!"
Good on the T.
