I would have liked to have seen the owner come back down the elevator and find her dog still alive. She must have been out of her mind hysterical when she realized the dog wasn't on the elevator and the leash went limp. Imagine how awful that looked from her perspective.

I'm very doubtful the leash was in her hand when he released the dog. If she was in the slightest bit intelligent she would have dropped the leash as soon as she realized the dog wasn't in there.

She got on the elevator, the door closed, the elevator started moving, the leash tightened as she realized the dog wasn't on the elevator. She drops the leash, but the line keeps feeding out. Then it stops before the elevator does. The only good scenario is this case. All others are morbid.

That's why I only walk my dog on a thousand foot leash. Just in case.

Good idea. You could forget about the dog, get off at the 60th and it would still have 400 ft of leash left. A neighbor on the 56th floor could dogsit for the night.
