The Heroic Moment This Man Saved A Puppy Falling From A Fourth Floor Balcony
When John Alexander Palomino Bendives went away on a business trip for two weeks, his mom, girlfriend, and four dogs missed him very much. However, no one missed John more than one of his dogs, Mina.
When John returned home, the young Peruvian man and his girlfriend were standing outside their building, about to go inside, when Mina caught sight of her favorite human from the balcony. Naturally, Mina was excited, and somehow she lost her balance and fell.
John spotted the small dog falling, and incredibly, he caught her in mid-air as she fell from the fourth-floor balcony. There is no way Mina would have survived such a long fall if her dad (and hero) hadn't caught her when he did.
Thankfully, no one was hurt, but Mina certainly gave everyone a big scare. The amazing moment was captured on a nearby security camera.
“She is okay, unharmed,” John said. "She was happy and grateful, as you can see in the images."
"She did not even stop wagging her tail out of happiness," John continued. He also mentioned that he and his family are planning to install a barrier on their balcony to prevent similar incidents in the future.
“I really love my dogs so much,” John said. “They always greet me with a lot of love and emotion."
"During the time I spend at home, I try to be with them as much as possible," he said. And we can't blame you, John—doggos are the best!

What an extraordinary moment that was! Mina truly is one lucky dog with a superhero owner.
We hate to think how terribly wrong things could have gone if John hadn't caught Mina at the precise moment he did. That was one close call and one epic save.
Have you ever experienced or witnessed a remarkable save like this one? It's certainly not something you see every day, and we would love to hear about it.
