Ted was in his Portland, OR apartment when he looked out the window and saw it: a small, distressed dog had climbed through the balcony railing on the 14th floor of a high-rise building. Ted could tell the 5-year-old Bichon Frise, named Mordy, was about to fall. That's when he sprung into action and did the unthinkable.
Ted sprinted out of his building and positioned himself underneath Mordy. Moments later, the dog slipped and fell — 14 stories down. “I just looked up at it and it was looking at me and it landed right in my chest… caught it for a minute, kind of fell, it did hit the ground. It let out a yelp but it was a huge relief to hear it yelp,” he told KGW News. He and his girlfriend brought Mordy to the vet. Doctors were shocked that Ted was in the right place at the exact moment of impact.
Will Mordy make it? Watch the video below to hear the results of Ted's incredible efforts.
If you or someone you know own a pet, this is a great reminder to make sure your windows and doors close properly and securely. Make sure to install secure window screens, and close all windows and doors to the outside before you go out, or even leave the room.
