Animals, especially dogs, are considered loyal life companions for many people. Therefore, it is essential to adopt a careful and precise behavior to preserve their safety, even when it comes to elevators. Dogs often instinctively fear vertical transportation methods, which can indeed be extremely dangerous for them.
A recent incident captured by a security camera in Brazil has drawn attention. In the video, a little dog follows its owner into an elevator and gets dragged by the leash. Unfortunately, when the elevator starts moving, the dog is pulled away from the leash and becomes trapped between the doors. Fortunately, the young owner managed to free the dog and avoid injury.
For this reason, it is crucial to follow ethical and “dog-friendly” behaviors when using the elevator with our four-legged friends.
Here are some guidelines to keep in mind:
-
Keep the dog close: when entering and exiting the elevator, ensure that the leash doesn’t get caught in the doors
-
Watch the elevator doors: pay attention to the doors during entry and exit to prevent any dangerous situations
-
Carry small dogs: if you have a small dog, consider holding it in your arms during the elevator ride
-
Monitor your pet: in general, keep an eye on your pet throughout the entire elevator journey
