A man and his two dogs are dead after they were hit by a train while walking
in Toronto's midtown.
It happened around 8am Monday on the CN railway tracks that run beside
Shaftsbury Avenue, near Yonge and St. Clair.
A 64-year-old man was walking his two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
off-leash when one of the dogs ran into the path of an oncoming train.
All three were hit when the man tried to rescue it. The man and the first
dog were killed instantly. The second had to be put down by police.

Susan Stock, who lives right across from the tracks and saw the tragedy
