The dog, known as BART, stopped the trains when he ran onto the tracks near the Coliseum Station in Oakland. Police rescued him.

His new family says he obviously had a painful past since he sometimes cowers like he's going to be hit.

At those times, the family says they just shower him with more love and kisses.

The dog has a new name too, Bhodi, which is a Buddhist tradition meaning: Teacher of compassion and enlightenment.
