8月15日，新加坡港湾区的购物商场发生了一起自动扶梯事故，警示了乘客带宠物狗搭乘自动扶梯可能会发生危险。当时，一名乘客正在搭乘自动扶梯，怀里抱着一只小狗，手里攥着狗绳牵着一只查理士王小猎犬。忽然，扶梯上的猎犬有一条后腿卡在了自动扶梯的缝隙里，它不断吠叫惊觉了路人，最终约半小时后才把它成功解救出来。帮忙的路人也有一只小狗，她说其实小狗很容易在自动扶梯上卡住毛发，因此建议狗主在搭乘自动扶梯时抱着宠物。
INCIDENT SERVES AS A REMINDER about DOGS AND ESCALATORS
An August 15 incident at a shopping mall in the HarbourFront precinct in Singapore serves as a reminder that escalators can be dangerous for dogs, mothership is among news outlets to report. A pet owner was riding an escalator while carrying one dog and leading another, a King Charles spaniel, on a leash. When one of the spaniel’s hind legs became trapped in the gaps of the escalator, its yelps alerted a passerby, who freed it after about 30 min. The good Samaritan, who was also with her dog, observed it is easy for dogs’ fur to become trapped in escalators and advised dog owners to carry their pets when riding escalators.
