The bulldog looked hesitant and unsure when she arrived at the bottom of the escalator.

For a long time, the densely populated Comuna 13 was considered a dangerous place, but in the meantime it has become more and more of a popular tourist hotspot. According to information from"El Colombiano", four-legged friends in particular seem to feel right at home in this colorful neighborhood.

Two long escalators, which are normally intended for the quick transportation of "two-legged friends", have completely captivated the French bulldog in broad daylight.

A video circulatingon TikTok from mid-November revealed the whole spectacle - and went viral in no time at all.

And then it went in the other direction again: the dog also willingly made its way up.

The dog seemed to have finally got the hang of it after a few "trial rounds" and appeared to be infatuated with the fast stairs.

Also seen in the clip: Thanks to its animal "roadworthiness", the four-legged friend mutated into the secret star of those who were also on the stairs at the time of filming - and must have rubbed their eyes in amazement at the unusual sight.

Meanwhile, the dog's owner could not be identified. However, his actions caused very mixed feelings on social media and among experts.

Although the wild ride seemed cool and exciting to some observers at first glance, dog experts in particular immediately had a sinking feeling in their stomachs.

The fact is that the major concerns about the underestimated risks for four-legged friends on escalators are justified.

Vets feared that the action could result in serious injuries, including amputations and even death. It is also conceivable that paws could be trapped or fur trapped between the gaps in the steps.
