Cecil Williams, 60, and his black Labrador retriever, Orlando, 11, fell onto the tracks from the A train platform at 125th St. — the faithful guide dog trying valiantly to save its master, who escaped with minor injuries. Now, unable to afford to care for Orlando, Williams says he must put him up for adoption.
It was the miracle under 125th St.
A blind man and his loyal service dog fell from a subway platform in Harlem Tuesday morning and together ducked beneath an arriving train without a second to spare — suffering little more than a laceration between them.
Orlando, a black Lab, stood by Cecil Williams in the railbed after the 60-year-old Brooklynite fainted and tumbled off of a northbound A train platform at the 125th St. station.
Williams said the Labrador retriever, who will turn 11 on Jan. 5, will have to be put up for adoption soon because his insurance will no longer cover the cost of caring for the dog. Williams said that if he could afford it, “I would definitely keep him.”
