French Bulldog Drops 6 Stories, Goes Through Dodge Challenger Sunroof, Survives

Cats are said to have 9 lives, but this French Bulldog isn’t far off, either. A dog named Winston fell off a building in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, NYC, dropped 6 stories and crashed through the sunroof of a parked car. And it survived.

It happened last weekend and it was such a shocking occurrence that the story immediately went viral after bystanders’ accounts ended up on reddit and social media. Must Be the Mangoes was right next to a parked silver Dodge Challenger when he heard a loud crash, saw the car's sunroof explode into pieces and then saw a dog “chilling” on one of the seats.

According to his account, the dog fell off from a building and dropped 6 stories. The poor animal was lucky it went through the glass and landed on the seat of the car, because inches to either side, his drop would have been fatal.

After the post went viral, a woman claiming to be the dog’s owner also went online to explain what had happened. She says Winston (that’s the name of the dog) had just come in from his walk when she released him from his leash before they got to their apartment. Winston ran up to the roof and, before he realized what was happening, ran off the ledge.

The good news is that Winston will be fine: he was taken to an animal hospital, where he was put in an oxygen chamber, and was treated for a cut. According to reports on social media, the owner cut herself way worse when she removed him through the broken sunroof.

“It’s an absolute miracle that he is alive right now,” the owner says.

As for the owner of the Challenger, apparently, he wouldn’t believe the story he was being told about a dog falling through his roof and breaking it, Gothamist reports. When he saw surveillance video captured by a nearby security camera, he was convinced – and relieved that the dog didn’t die.

So this dog just jumped off a roof in the LES and went through the sunroof of a car parked on the street. from r/nyc
