Dog recovering after surviving 14-storey fall down apartment building shaft

A dog in Florida survived a 14-storey fall in an apartment building with just cuts and bruises to show for it.



The 4-year-old maltipoo named Suzie is almost ready to go back home after being treated at Oakland Park Animal Hospital. Suzie’s owner Elaine Caralis said she was visiting a friend who lives in a Fort Lauderdale condo on Friday night.

They were on the 16th floor when Caralis said Suzie fell through a pipe and ended up on the second floor. It took firefighters three hours to get her out.

“I thought she died,” Caralis said, “but I was calling her from the wall and she was barking, so I knew she was alive.” Caralis said she’s so thankful her pup survived the long fall. “She’s my baby.”
