In this April 8, 2014 photo provided by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, an MTA Police officier holds &quot;Tie&quot; on a leash at the Harlem 125th Metro North station in New York. The fleet-footed pooch is lucky to be alive after racing a Metro-North train from the Bronx into Manhattan alongside the train on a parallel track Tuesday. Engineer Joseph Delia said when the dog got ahead of the train he had to go “real slow” to avoid hitting her. Two MTA officers met the dog at the 125th Street station and named the dog “Tie” after all the railroad ties she crossed. (AP Photo/Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Meredith Daniels)
