Woman saves falling dog using cardboard box in dramatic rescue: ‘Not all heroes wear capes’

In a dramatic rescue caught on camera, a woman in Brazil saved a dog from a potentially fatal fall using a cardboard box. The incident took place when the dog was seen hanging dangerously from a window on an upper floor of a building.

The footage shows the woman standing at a window below, carefully positioning a cardboard box in anticipation of the dog's fall. As the dog lost its grip and plummeted, she swiftly caught it inside the box, preventing what could have been a tragic accident. She then took the shaken but unharmed dog inside.

The video quickly gained traction online, with many social media users praising the woman’s quick thinking and compassion. One user commented, "Not all heroes wear capes." Another remarked, "Good thing she had that dog-sized box ready to go." However, some were left puzzled by the circumstances, asking, "How did the dog even end up there?" and "Why was it outside climbing the side of a building?"

One user wrote, “How on earth did that dog even get there in the first place.”

Another heartwarming video went viral, showcasing the incredible instincts of a service dog named Bailey as he assisted his owner during a medical emergency. Shared on Instagram, the footage highlighted Bailey’s ability to sense an impending episode of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a condition that causes dizziness and other symptoms due to reduced blood volume when standing.
