The MSPCA reports Mace the pomeranian mix is now short a couple of toes, which had to be amputated after getting mangled at the top of an escalator at the Forest Hills T stop:
The doctors concluded that Mace's foot was so damaged that surgery was scheduled the following day to remove two of his toes. Doctors at Angell expect Mace will make a full recovery and will even learn to walk just as well as before on his now slightly altered hind leg.

How much does a pomeranian weigh?

Seriously.
Losing toes isn't the whole of it, either. I've seen small dogs nearly trampled by Inna Hurray Ondaphone and her ilk because, like most peds in this city, they aren't looking where they are stepping.
Poor guy :(

I always assumed it was common sense to not put animals on an escalator. Large, metal, grinding moving stairs are no place for the small, unprotected feet of our canine and feline friends.
You're also not supposed to

put baby strollers on escalators, and yet I regularly see people upending a stroller on its side WITH THE CHILD DANGLING HALF OUT OF THE BUCKLE to avoid using the stairs.
People are effing stupid.
