Dog falls from rooftop dog park

[Catherine]

This is a sad story with a sad ending. A happy trip to a rooftop dog park ended badly when the dog leapt over a wall in his excitement and fell 5 floors to his death.

For a smaller dog or an older dog the accident wouldn't have been possible. However young, strong, bigger dogs can easily jump 3.5 feet. Who ever designed the area underestimated what dogs can do. Better safety features and perhaps keeping control of the dog could have prevented this from happening. Since it is hard to control and excited pet it would be better to control the safety of the park.

I feel bad for the person who has lost his dog. It is hard to lose a young healthy dog because of an accident.
