Man Shocked By Hanging Dog In Lift After Doors Shut On Its Lead
This is the shocking moment a dog that had run into a lift unattended is dragged into the air by its lead after the doors shut, leaving the poor animal hanging in front of the entrance – and shocking a man who tried to walk into the lift from the next floor.
The incident was filmed by the lift CCTV camera in the city of Yingkou in the north-eastern Chinese province of Liaoning on 26th May.
According to the news site Baidu, the dog was for some reason unattended in the lift, possibly after running ahead of its owner in anticipation of going for a walk, and was caught out when the doors closed.
In the footage, the dog is seen in the lift with the end of its lead lying across the entrance.
The doors close and the dog is dragged upwards by the trapped lead until the lift arrives at another floor.
An unsuspecting man about to walk inside is then left shocked when he is confronted by a stiff, dangling dog at the entrance.
Curiously, instead of helping the dog and removing the lead from its collar, he apparently edges away and leaves the animal hanging.
Fortunately, the dog was soon rescued in time and was not injured.
