China: Dog Rescued After Being Trapped in Elevator in Anhui

On August 28, 2025, a shocking accident occurred in a residential building in Anhui Province, eastern China. As the elevator doors opened, a pet dog entered, but its elderly owner either deliberately stayed behind or failed to get on in time, leaving the dog alone inside as the doors closed. As the elevator descended, the dog's leash became caught in the door, pulling it upward and leaving the dog dangling from the ceiling in a dangerous position. A man and woman waiting on the next floor quickly rescued the dog when the elevator doors opened.
