A dog that went outside of his home in Irving California on Saturday afternoon that was trapped in the balcony of his owners home that could enter into the home of his owner who was not home gained the attention of an animal lover who saw the dog needed to be rescued.
The concerned animal lover contacted 911 to send help to rescue the dog that was on the fourth floor by sending the Orange County Fire Authority and the Irving Police Department teamed up to rescue the dog with an aerial ladder and bring the dog back to the ground floor safely.
The female dog was reunited with her family.

Now if that was a cat I bet it may have jumped. Dogs can't do that.

@celticeagle At that height a cat most likely would have been toast.

@sallypup ..........I have seen videos of some cats who can jump a long, long way. It's amazing. The average cat can jump equal to about 3 stories. Some can jump further.

@celticeagle When I was just starting at community college I lived in the same building as one of my brothers. He decided to tease me with an experiment- dropping a kitten out a second story window. He almost got a punch to the head from me for that stunt. The jerk.

Poor dog but I blame the owner, You should always check on pets before leaving the house,

It sounds to me like animal abuse! The rightful owners weren't taking care of this dog:(

That is what I am thinking that the owners may have abused their dog.

That is a good question how did the dog get stuck outside of her owners home.

@Deepizzaguy This is what I thought. A cat would have jumped to reach the tree.

Most likely the dog got out of her owner's home by accident.

That looks like a precarious balancing act, and it was lucky the dog did not fall off before it was rescued. It must have been desperate to get out from there, trapped on the balcony, to climb up on that small ledge like that.

It appears that the dog was close of falling down from the balcony.
