A security camera in Russia captured what could have been a horrific accident. Thankfully, a Good Samaritan was there to prevent the unthinkable from happening.

A woman entered an elevator with her pug, and selected her destination floor. As the doors began to close, her dog got out of the elevator, and she still had the leash in her hand. Had it not been for the man waiting, this story would have a much different ending. He released the dog from the leash with no time to spare.
