A Houston man was caught on video dramatically saving a dog’s life after the pet’s leash got caught in a pair of elevator doors, NBC News reports. Now the man is defending the dog’s owner from haters online.
Johnny Mathis, a welding teacher, was exiting the elevator at his apartment complex while a neighbor, a female with a Pomeranian walking alongside her, was approaching. The woman went into the elevator, but the dog did not. His or her leash did, however, and the elevator started ascending, tightening the leash on the dog and risking strangling it.
