The Heroic Moment This Man Saved A Puppy Falling From A Fourth Floor Balcony
John Alexander Palomino Bendives came home from a two-week business trip to a moment he will probably never forget. As he and his girlfriend were about to go inside their building, one of his dogs, Mina, spotted him from the balcony and got so excited that she lost her balance and fell.
John reacted instantly and caught the small dog in mid-air as she dropped from the fourth floor. The scary moment was caught on a nearby security camera, and thankfully Mina walked away unharmed.
It was a split-second save that turned into a viral-worthy scare, and Mina's lucky landing says everything about how fast it all happened.
When Mina caught sight of her human from the balcony, she 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.

That was a terrifying few seconds for everyone watching.

Thankfully, no one was hurt, but Mina certainly gave everyone a big scare.
“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.
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.
