Good Stuff: Delta The Track Dog

An MTA worker in New York named Charles Gaston was working in a subway tunnel in the Bronx last week, and found a stray dog that was shivering and covered in filth.  (We’re not sure how old Charles is, but he looks to be in his 40s.)

Its hair was matted and almost black, and Charles thinks she might have been down there for MONTHS.  None of the other workers would touch her, but she was really friendly.

So Charles decided HE would adopt her.  She’s a Shih Tzu-poodle mix, which you couldn’t even tell before he cleaned her up.  And he found her on the D Line, so he named her Delta.

He’s been uploading pictures of her to an Instagram account he made called “Delta the Track Dog“.   And now the before-and-after photos are going viral, because it doesn’t even look like the same dog.

A few people have come forward thinking Delta might be theirs, but Charles says he’s already become so attached, he can’t imagine giving her up.
