Barking mad!
Security cameras captured the scene in all of it's terror, as the owner desperately wrestled to pull the dog back in. As the doors sealed shut, the owner feared the worst, as the dog was flung against the wall several times. However during the lonely ride he did not realise the unpredictable luck; the lead had been cut in half. The nerve-wracking ride ended with the owner reunited with his shaken, but unharmed, pet.

The Expendables 2 rated 12A
There have been rumours that Chuck Norris wouldn't be a part of the movie if it included all the bad language in the script, so now the film will be a 12A instead of a 15.
