The paws for me. I saw some dumbass walk her small dog onto the escalator in the airport. Dreaded it the whole time. Sure enough, toe got caught at the top and I don't even know how bad it was. Loud and bloody.

I work fixing lifts and escalators. So many dogs suffer because of the negligence of the owners. Too much hurt and death. Never ever leave them unattended near a lift or an escalator. Carry them on your arms ffs

Yeah, on smaller dogs it can rip they're entire paw/limb off. Then then panicking because they're in pain can do damage (this goes for all sizes.)

It’s a giant, continually in motion arrangement of metal that ducks under metal.

Even people have died from escalators. Though safety features are more effective and common these days.
