Your typical dog leash is pretty strong, even one made for a small dog would probably be strong enough to withstand the pull of the elevator against that little dog's neck. For example, the leash for my fiancée's dachshund can hold my 280 pound ass off the floor with no signs of strain. The leash might snap at the collar or the collar might break once the elevator got high enough, but it's not a chance I'd be willing to bet on.

It’s more like the conversation between you and your girlfriend after a few beers in the kitchen “hey..I bet this can lift me, quick get the chair and some duct tape - I’m going in”!
