A runaway dog unleashed havoc on the Brooklyn subway — until a kinder, gentler Joe Lhota came to her rescue.
Shelter adoptee Dakota, a bit worse for the wear after bolting onto the tracks at the Jay St. station Friday afternoon, was reunited with her equally skittish owner one heart-stopping hour later.
“I think she just got scared and ran,” said Caroline Francis, 27, after her injured dog was taken to the veterinarian.
“I’m worried. I guess I’m in a state of shock. They found her, and we’re hoping for the best.” The 3-year-old, 11-pound poodle mix was rescued by a Metropolitan Transportation Authority train service supervisor after the agency shut down power to protect the rambling pooch.
Lhota, who was chairman of the MTA in 2012, famously declared as a mayoral candidate a year later that he would not close the subway to save a pair of frisky felines named Arthur and August.
Lhota lost the race, but returned as chairman of the MTA in 2017.
