That young gal was shattered as I would be! But she acted pretty quickly - I guess you don't recognize the danger of a dropped lead in an elevator. Of course I don't do that as my big dogs would essentially be off lead - and my wee one - out of my safety control. And who knows when that elevator could stop at another floor?
I don't want to even look at the other videos just yet. |
Looks to me that the snapping of the lead, failure of the collars and harnesses to hold are the only things that saved the dogs in every situation though the people were desperately trying to help. That one person might have gotten one of the leashes unhooked but I wonder. In the report about the first woman with the Rottie in my second posting of the video - the one with the voice over - the reporter says the leash snapped so apparently she reported that's what happened. And in all of the other cases, there seems to be failure also, thank God.
It's so scary that in a split second our dogs can be so quickly in awful trouble with trailing leashes getting caught in things. I know I'll be extra, extra careful from now on.
