Dog Hanging Off Apartment Window Almost Falls to Certain Death, Neighbor Catches It In A Cardboard Box at the Last Second

There are moments where you see something going horribly wrong and just… do something? Well, Yasmin Saraiva in Guarulhos, Brazil, had one of those moments, and she straight-up became a hero.

Earlier this week, Yasmin was chilling at home when she heard a ruckus outside her window. Curious, she looked down, and saw a small crowd pointing and yelling at her. Turns out, the chaos was happening right outside her apartment, and it involved a dog in serious trouble.

The dog, named Alicinha, had somehow wriggled through an upstairs window that was covered with netting. The net was tight at the bottom but looser at the top, and that’s exactly where things got terrifying. Alicinha got herself stuck between the netting and a shutter, panicking and basically climbing higher and higher like a tiny furry action hero.

When Yasmin realized the dog was about to fall from the top of the netting, she didn’t pause to think. She didn’t call anyone. She just went.

“I didn’t think, I just acted,” she told The Dodo. And act she did, Yasmin grabbed a nearby box, set it under Alicinha, and caught her before any disaster could happen.

“I looked around and found a box,” she said, “Thank God that box was very strong, it managed to hold the dog.”

And just like that, Alicinha was saved, completely unharmed, and probably more confused than anything. The neighbors cheering below probably got a little bit of hero envy themselves.

Honestly, this one is just a straight-up feel-good story, a dog almost falls from a window, a neighbor improvises like a legend, and everyone lives to tell the tale. Yasmin, we see you.
