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."
