A lucky dog

Kai, a two-year-old Shiba Inu, was born lucky. The story about this dog’s adventures is right after the jump.

This dog had a miraculous escape after leaping off a roof and falling 50 feet on to a ledge at an apartment block on the Upper West Side of New York.

The animal bounded over the side of the roof garden after its owner Tracy Aron, a Broadway theater producer, took him up for his morning exercise.

The protective fencing that usually surrounds the edge of the building had been removed due to renovation work.

The pup had been jumping over the connected rooftops when it took a wrong turn and fell four floors on to a ledge below at the townhouse.

Kai survived this accident. The dog miraculously did not break any bones.
