[Video below.] A policeman saved a dog whose leash got stuck in an elevator door. Sergeant Moshe Chajaj from Be’er Sheva recounted on Tuesday what happened a few days ago.
“I left for work around 5:30 from my home in Be’er Sheva. Along with me in the elevator was a lady with a dog. I got out of the elevator and noticed that the lady didn’t get out. I noticed the dog outside the elevator. The door had already closed and the dog leash started to be pulled upwards.
“I immediately ran in the dog’s direction. I tried to free it from the collar, but I couldn’t. In the end, I had to tear the leash off the dog in order to save its life.”
In an interview, Moshe added: “It was a matter of seconds, without too much thought. I just acted.”

“In the end, I had to tear the leash off the dog in order to save its life.”
When asked to describe the difficulty of the task, Moshe told reporters, “The biggest difficulty is that police officers are only given a short leash as to what we are permitted to do in these situations.”
