Your Moment of Cheer: Dog Survives 50-Foot Fall
December 13, 2011
Nothing like a good dog-story to take the edge off the day's dismal news.
From
the Daily Mail:
Kai, a two-year-old Shiba Inu, bounded over the side of the roof garden after his owner Tracy Aron took him up for his morning exercise.
The pup had been jumping over the connected rooftops when he took a wrong turn and fell four floors on to a ledge below at the townhouse on the Upper West Side of New York.
[...]
Ms Aron, a Broadway theatre producer, told the New York Post: 'He just launched himself from the back of the building thinking there was another roof.
'We watched him fall and then heard a thud and his crying.'
[...]
Miraculously Kai didn't break any bones after his tumble but had been given medication to reduce swelling.
