A terrible story happend in Toronto last month. A Toronto dog owner had to act fast when her Rottweiler’s leash got stuck in the elevator doors, causing him to be pulled up by his neck and almost choke to death.
The five year old Rottweiler named Vado would die for sure if the owner Tamara Seibert wouldn't manage to free her choking dog from his collar. Mrs.Seibert broke two fingers in the process, but thank god she managed to save the poor dog.
Seibert entered the elevator on the 11th floor of her Toronto apartament with Vado and a dog she was watching for a friend when the leash became trapped. She hit the emergency buttons and immediately started trying to free him and fortunately the leash finally snapped.
Seibert posted this on Facebook Page: “I thought I was about to lose the love of my life (my puppy) and seriously mangled my hand in the process. I am posting this because thank god my dog survived, but I want to warn people how fast something so simple can go horribly wrong. I never want anyone else to ever go through this. You can’t see my face but I’ve never been so hysterical in my life. Please be careful with your dogs leashes because things can go wrong really fast if you are not careful"
"I thought I was going to watch him die." That's how Tamara Seibert describes what happened earlier this month during what she thought was going to be a routine elevator ride with her dog and another pooch she was dog-sitting. But it was anything but. On March 2, Seibert hopped into the elevator with her Rottweiler, Vado, and Tessa, her friend's Pitbull. As the doors closed behind her, video of the incident shows nothing out of the ordinary. Then, out of nowhere, Vado is yanked off the floor to the top of the door and left flailing as he hangs by his collar. The leash had gotten caught in the door and not only was it wrapped around Vado's neck, it was also stuck around Seibert's hand. He's 110 pounds and he was just picked clean off the ground. I just panicked and was going to do whatever I could to get him down," she told the Tornto Sun. She struggled to get him loose, but to no avail. Then, the leash snapped. The doors opened, and a flustered Seibert can be seen massaging her hand and trying to gather her belongings as the dogs wander out into the hall: "I don't even watch it, the college student said about the unbelievable video that's now sweeping the Internet. "The last time I watched it I realized I picked up some random person's garbage off the elevator when I was so out of it that I was scooping everything in the elevator." Seibert was shaken up after the incident. Vado? He was fine. "I was trying to keep it together, but at the end you see me fall to my knees," she told the Sun. "I curled into a little ball in the parking garage floor and bawled my eyes out hysterically. I think (Vado) thinks he maybe did something bad, I posted the next day of him running around a backyard. But he was never afraid to go back in the elevator. I think he knows no one was trying to hurt him."
