Dog survived 15-storey fall into hot tub

A 13-year old Boston Terrier in Sacramento, Caliifornia, is recovering after falling off a 15th floor balcony, straight into a hot tub on Monday.
The dog's owner, Bill McCourt, was in tears when he recalled the accident: "You just can't imagine a dog going through that kind of trauma. He actually got on to the next balcony and tried to work his way back he has a bit of an eyesight issue," McCourt said.

When that eyesight failed him, there was nowhere to go but down. McCourt said what happened next is a miracle: "Just a little bit to the east of this balcony is a pool and a hot tub and the dog actually went directly into the hot tub.

"He hit the hot tub instinctively started swimming found the stairs and pulled himself out." Sammy is suffering from a cracked pelvis and broken ribs, and is recovering at an animal hospital. Even after falling from one of the tallest buildings in Sacramento, Bill McCourt said Sammy is doing well. "I've actually seen him stand up and walk. It's just amazing."
