A 10 month old papillion-poodle mix named Brooklyn (pictured) took a terrifying plunge yesterday in Lower Manhattan. According to 1010Wins, he ran out of his owner's apartment, up the stairs and onto the roof of their building.

Workers had left the door open as they finished a chimney project up there, and the owners say their pup then "pranced from the precipice" and landed on the second floor ledge of the building next door. All in all he fell about 5 stories. He was taken to the vet with his owner by the 1st Precinct.

And just like Lucky the cat... he survived! Maybe cats aren't the only ones with nine lives. Brooklyn is currently recovering, and suffered two broken legs, broken ribs and may have a spinal fracture.
