How a Brave Pet Owner Saved His Dog from a Deadly Fall
A loyal dog owner from Peru, John Alexander Palomino Bendives, showed his love and courage when he rescued his dog from falling off a balcony. Bendives had just returned home from a long work trip and was eager to reunite with his mother and four dogs who lived in a rooftop apartment on the fourth floor. But as he was walking towards the building with his girlfriend, one of his dogs, Mina, got too excited and jumped over the railing.

Bendives reacted instantly and caught Mina in mid-air, preventing her from hitting the ground. "She was fine, not a scratch," Bendives said to The Dodo. "Mina was happy and grateful, as you can see in the video. She didn't stop wagging her tail out of happiness."
The frightening incident made the family realize the need for more safety measures and they decided to install a mesh barrier on the roof to avoid similar accidents in the future. Bendives and his family adore their pets and want to keep them safe.
"I love my pets very much," Bendives said. "They always receive me with a lot of love and emotion. The time I spend at home, I try to spend as much time as possible with them."
