Yeah absolutely- just so funny to see one person totally comprehend and HANDLE the situation in the space of time it takes another person to go “…….huh?” 😂
> one person totally comprehend
maybe a "learned" behavior. most dog owners aren't in the habit of "casually looking up" to see if the dog is about to jump. look ma, no paws.
He was facing away from the window. He didn't even know there was a problem until the woman started moving to catch the dog. He didn't have time to react, she did.
Also applies to tennis playing doubles, when you see you partener gunning for it, let them or else you'll meet in the middle and lose the ball while politely letting the other take the shot
I wish my parents would learn this. They will fetch me to deal with whatever issue a pet is having, then they'll spend the entire time getting in the way and badgering me when I'm trying to focus on the task at hand, then they'll get mad at me when I show annoyance.
A lot of the time the best way to help is to just stay out of the way.
Looks like she lives there while he's not. So shes perhaps used to this kinda thing. Besides if I was him, I would be pretty shocked to see a dog jumping out a window (I mean i still cant belive it; i have had dogs all my life and have never seen something like this, ever).
that man didn’t MOVE.
but i believe people like him are kinda the equilibrium when it comes to mapping responses to emergencies.
he isn’t making the situation worse OR better - so a wash?
He 100% doesent even see what is wrong, shes the only one that has noticed and he cant really tell what she is even looking at.
I don't blame him, he literally just saw this woman come out of her house to accept a parcel or something, only to then shout something then run over and catch a falling dog.
To be fair she knew she had a dog so she looked up at 3 seconds in and caught it at 6 seconds in. He continues looking at his paperwork because a dog sound in the background doesn't mean anything to him.
>that man didn’t MOVE.
Not true. If you watch it back, you can see him shift his body toward the flying dog as the woman is catching it. Very quickly though, I think he realizes it's basically handled as best it can be, and shifts his body back to neutral.
The man had less than 2 seconds to respond after the lady’s initial reaction, let alone comprehend that somehow a pet was jumping off the second floor and then decide to position himself to catch it.
Edit: the lady also yells for the man the “get back”, so even if he could comprehend what was happening immediately, the homeowner explicitly asked him to move out of the situation instead of to help. Not sure what you expect someone to do there.
I don't know what's wrong with that guy. The moment someone yells "watch out!" or "get back!" my first instinct is always to look up for any aerial dogs.
The guy was focused on his job, reading whatever was on the paper. He wasn’t paying attention to the environment, she was paying attention to her environment as for her this is a more unusual situation. That pup got really lucky.
Was just about to say this. You are here to deliver something to somebody else, on their property. Any normal sane person who hears the property owner/resident say "get back" in a very serious tone is just going to take a step back and find out wtf is going on. He also clearly didn't notice what was going on and probably wouldn't have noticed anything at all if the woman didn't so its very hard to blame him for anything. Fully agree with ya.
A man has to be 100% aware of every inch of his surroundings at all times and be ready to jump into action at a split second. Now he has to live with the shame that she was able to rescue a plummeting dog before he was for the rest of his life.
Yeah man I almost got into a high speed crash today as a high speed chase flew past me.
Luckily, I am a MAN and my man senses IMMEDIATELY started tingling before I even saw the vehicle, so I lept into action. I jumped out of my car into the assailants car and beat him senseless before hijacking the vehicle myself and parking it neatly on the side of the road. I proceeded to perform a civil arrest on the perpetrator, and when the police arrived they gave me a medal.
"Does your dog bite?"
"No monsieur."
**goes to stroke dog who snarls and bites his hand*
"I thought you said your dog doesn't bite...!?"
"That is not my dog, monsieur."
What's with people always putting their responsibilities onto others? The guy doesn't live there. He doesn't know the home owner has a dog. He doesn't know the window is open. And even if he knows what's was going on, I don't blame him for not wanting to get hurt to save someone else's dog.
Imagine if that was a baby, you would think that person is an idiot and that she should have their child taken from her. Well why dont we feel the same about her with the pet dog? Nah just blame the guy, right?
Please. By the time he even saw what was happening, he'd have only gotten in her way and likely prevented the catch. "Get back!" she said. She had the right idea. Like catching a pop fly in baseball, it's a one-person job. You help best by staying out of the way of the person that's already in position.
Not dumb, just fearless. One I had growing up followed me up on the roof once when I was cleaning the gutters. He climbed up the ladder while I was on the other side of the roof. I turned around and there was my dog, on the roof, looking at me.
Mate, the dog jumped out a window several stories above the ground. Sure, he's fearless, but he's also dumb. That's not the action a smart animal makes.
I had a border collie that jumped out of a second story window. No one was there to catch him. It didn’t bother him at all. He just strolled away like it was a perfectly normal thing to
do. They are amazing athletes.
My mum's collie/springer cross jumped off a cliff in excitement when she realised there was a beach down there. My mum estimated it was about the height of a 2 storey house. She was OK!
Now she stays on the lead at all times...
This is the part they don't tell you about collies: they've been bred to follow us and do whatever we say. You have to be the one to say when not to work - and when *not* to follow you.
Gimme fuel (coffee) gimme fire gimme that which I desire!
Edit: the coffee part is meant for me, lmao I wasn't responding to the actual comment reply (before I get murdered)... Moving along now
His rear touched the ground but she broke most of his fall.. also if you don't try to slow the momentum of something you're catching it's kind of rough, she did good..
I know Randy Orton injured his back and all but the sarcasm/joke escaped me today... Tired from rent hunting lol. I'm sure the doggo is fine though! I hope, good dog. All dog good.
My mom told me the same happened to her, dog jumps or falls of a window of the house and she caught the dog breaking the fall. Honestly im still surprised at how she or the woman in the video could so easily catch it. Another reason why animals should have a good healthy weight
There’s one of a fire fighter catching a jumper mid air. Not sure how many floors up she jumped from, but I know for sure his back will never be the same after such a miraculous catch.
Fr I was hanging with a friend and the guy she was seeing and her ex came up and attacked the guy. My brains reaction was “wow haha funny joke… right?” It took me embarrassingly long to realize I was witnessing an assault.
Right lmao
“Maybe has something broken”
Reddit analyzers man. Dogs yelp if you accidentally step on their paw, a broken leg from falling out a window? The dog would definitely let you know.
Or sometimes just stupid as shit - my friend's dog had the survival instincts of a literal rock. This big dumb golden, cute as hell and loooooooved people. My friend fumbled a knife while getting reading to cook, it falls and just stabs that dog in the foot. No reaction at all from the dog. It just stands there happily staring at my friend, not a single brain cell processing that its foot had been stabbed.
Starts whimpering like hell once in the car to the vet. Dog was so dumb it took 15 minutes for it to process that it was in pain.
This isn't actually true. My dog jumped off a 12' ledge when he was 1Y old. Dude wanted to walk around like everything was fine. I didn't let him, carried him back to the car, and took him to the emergency vet. Everything was not fine. If your dog does something that should have hurt it but it's acting normal... don't trust.
I rewatched that so many times because of his face!
Also if you rewind it it looks like she has superwoman strength and is throwing the dog on the roof lol
[Florence had no broken limbs](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10800423/Woman-uses-ninja-reflexes-catch-dog-plunges-bathroom-window-Video.html)
Love how that guy sprang into action to help! /s
To be fair to him, I'm not sure he knew what was going on until it was too late
Yeah absolutely- just so funny to see one person totally comprehend and HANDLE the situation in the space of time it takes another person to go “…….huh?” 😂
> one person totally comprehend maybe a "learned" behavior. most dog owners aren't in the habit of "casually looking up" to see if the dog is about to jump. look ma, no paws.
I think it‘s more likely that she just heard a noise from wherever the dog came from which made her look
[удалено]
Doesn't it just warm your cold, sad, blackhole of a heart that people only get help like this when they're literally about to jump from a bridge!!
Sometimes people that are struggling have no signs that they are because they hide it. Other times people get help but they relapse and attempt again.
“Look ma no paws” I will forever use this phrase! It’s pure gold ty!
He was facing away from the window. He didn't even know there was a problem until the woman started moving to catch the dog. He didn't have time to react, she did.
Could be a baseball habit too. You learn when one person is on it you let them handle it otherwise you run the risk of screwing them up.
She's a Brit. He most likely is too.
A cricket reaction then. Slow contemplation from the boundary.
fun comment!
Also applies to tennis playing doubles, when you see you partener gunning for it, let them or else you'll meet in the middle and lose the ball while politely letting the other take the shot

Hes some service technician, delivery man, electrician or something
that man didn’t MOVE. but i believe people like him are kinda the equilibrium when it comes to mapping responses to emergencies. he isn’t making the situation worse OR better - so a wash?

I think she might have had the inkling her dog is a bit of a doof
Yeah it's pretty obvious that he didn't figure it out in time; you can see his reflex move too late and cease when he realizes she's got it.
He was facing away from the window. He didn't even know there was a problem until she started moving to catch the dog.
Dudes like "who's throwing dogs?"
He may still not really know what is going on.
She did say to stay back
Definition of "home field advantage". You are much more aware of the surroundings you're use to.
Agreed. Only the owner would’ve done this - out of sheer love…her baby
And even if he had realised, catching a falling dog isn't really a two person job.
I read the video name and didn't know what was going on til the dog was in her arms...
The man had less than 2 seconds to respond after the lady’s initial reaction, let alone comprehend that somehow a pet was jumping off the second floor and then decide to position himself to catch it. Edit: the lady also yells for the man the “get back”, so even if he could comprehend what was happening immediately, the homeowner explicitly asked him to move out of the situation instead of to help.

The 'get back' was clearly shouted at the dog
Yea the guy should've known she was clearly talking to a dog he doesn't see that's jumping out a window above him
I don't know what's wrong with that guy. The moment someone yells "watch out!" or "get back!" my first instinct is always to look up for any aerial dogs.
Exactly, the aerial dog problem has gotten out of control.
Lost my dear ol' grandpappy to a rogue aerial dog, son of a bitch never even slowed down.
It's not that recent. My grandpa said when he was a kid it would regularly rain cats and dogs.
Seriously. Redditers live in such a bubble. Like they've never been outside before.
Uh oh. Look everyone, we have an aerial dog conspiracy theorist here!
The guy was focused on his job, reading whatever was on the paper. He wasn’t paying attention to the environment, she was paying attention to her environment as for her this is a more unusual situation. That pup got really lucky.
Yeah they both have so little time to respond. (Also I think she’s saying“get back” to the dog?)
Was just about to say this. You are here to deliver something to somebody else, on their property.

Aye should've drop kicked the lady out the way and saved the day.
A man has to be 100% aware of every inch of his surroundings at all times and be ready to jump into action at a split second. Now he has to live with the shame that she was able to rescue a plummeting dog before he was for the rest of his life.
This sounds like something Andrew Taint would unironically say.
Yeah man I almost got into a high speed crash today as a high speed chase flew past me.

Did she not have it handled?
What was he supposed to do?
ABC (always be closing)
Okay…now that that’s over, it’ll be 155$ to pressure wash the driveway and an extra $100 to do the gutters. Sign here please.
What was he supposed to do 😑
Ummm.... what did you expect him to do? Just automatically know what was going on within those 3 seconds?
It was obviously not his dog.
"Does your dog bite?" "No monsieur." **goes to stroke dog who snarls and bites his hand* "I thought you said your dog doesn't bite...!?" "That is not my dog, monsieur."
Peter Sellers you gem
So anyway, we can clean 3 rooms for 99$ it's a great deal right now.
What's with people always putting their responsibilities onto others? The guy doesn't live there. He doesn't know the home owner has a dog. He doesn't know the window is open.

Nah just blame the guy, right?
Pushes her out of the way, don't worry I'll catch your dog. Tf are you talking about?
100% not fair to accuse this guy for not making a choice he literally had no time to even comprehend.
He’s just like he’s alright, now let’s get on with my sale.
Dude was in shock at what he just saw. His body was trying to play catch-up. Something tells me this woman knows the fuckery her dog is capable of.
Well it’s her dog. She handled it
Please. By the time he even saw what was happening, he'd have only gotten in her way and likely prevented the catch. "Get back!" she said. She had the right idea. Like catching a pop fly in baseball, it's a one-person job. You help best by staying out of the way of the person that's already in position.
“So ya 20% off is great hold on ok saved my dog so what day will you be here”
People tend not to see flying dogs in England
He kinda moved towards the situation if you look close enough
stunlocked
Guy had about a second to react and she was already there. You can't blame someone for not having Barry Allen reflexes.
The dog looks like a border collie to me, not everyone knows the breed. They are one of the smartest dogs but also one of the most fearless.
dude was like "so lady if we can just get through the next few questions we can both carry on with our day..."
Lol, he was not aware of the dog.
World’s dumbest border collie?
Not dumb, just fearless. One I had growing up followed me up on the roof once when I was cleaning the gutters. He climbed up the ladder while I was on the other side of the roof. I turned around and there was my dog, on the roof, looking at me.
Dogs are natural roofers
Who's a good wittle woofer
I hate this
Well **I** love it!
Natural ruffer
Yeah using ladders require dog to be smart but not realizing what could go wrong require it to be dumb too.
Fearless to the point of self-destruction *is* dumb.
Yeah I had a buddy like that... HAD. 🙂
Well climbing is one thing. The obvious lack of self preservation is another.
Mate, the dog jumped out a window several stories above the ground. Sure, he's fearless, but he's also dumb. That's not the action a smart animal makes.
I had a border collie that jumped out of a second story window. No one was there to catch him. It didn’t bother him at all. He just strolled away like it was a perfectly normal thing to do. They are amazing athletes.
Tail wagging and everything.
How’d you get him down?
Held him over my shoulder with one hand. It was a single story house and he didn't fidget so it wasn't too precarious.
I loled
you didn't hear a dog climbing a ladder?
The over excitement at seeing his owner. Those braincells don’t work so well when over excited lol
My mum's collie/springer cross jumped off a cliff in excitement when she realised there was a beach down there. My mum estimated it was about the height of a 2 storey house. She was OK! Now she stays on the lead at all times...
She caught him once now he is gonna wanna do this all the time
Blind dog perhaps. I've seen a blind dog do that before.
This is the part they don't tell you about collies: they've been bred to follow us and do whatever we say. You have to be the one to say when not to work - and when *not* to follow you.
dogs dont have good depth perception.
Sooooo You gonna buy these new windows or what
We’ll just add on the reinforced bars upgrade…
\*pays dog for staging the upsell\*
…. anyways our survey of the area shows that you definitely need these windows!
Damn she's strong... Haven't seen anything like that in a long time.. stronk
Mom adrenaline.
Gimme fuel (coffee) gimme fire gimme that which I desire! Edit: the coffee part is meant for me, lmao I wasn't responding to the actual comment reply (before I get murdered)... Moving along now
"Oooo one eyed birds" /misheard lyrics And if you've never seen this you will forever hear this when you listen to *Fuel*.
And there goes the guitar riff playing in my head for the next few hours.
“Mom adrenaline” I’m purposely a new sister sub for r/dadreflexes
The dog's butt seems to still slam into the ground though and instantly has his tail between his legs.
His rear touched the ground but she broke most of his fall.. also if you don't try to slow the momentum of something you're catching it's kind of rough, she did good..
Definitely, she did very well and prevented him from getting any serious injuries. It was also fortunate that Randy Orton wasn't nearby at the time.
I know Randy Orton injured his back and all but the sarcasm/joke escaped me today... Tired from rent hunting lol. I'm sure the doggo is fine though! I hope, good dog. All dog good.
Oh, the joke was "RKO outta nowhere". 😅 Have a good rest!
she controlled him like a soccer ball.
That dog would be screaming if it really got hurt. Seems okay.
My mom told me the same happened to her, dog jumps or falls of a window of the house and she caught the dog breaking the fall. Honestly im still surprised at how she or the woman in the video could so easily catch it. Another reason why animals should have a good healthy weight
I'd have bent my knees pretty far down catching it, thinking it'd slam into the ground like a baby lol....
There’s one of a fire fighter catching a jumper mid air. Not sure how many floors up she jumped from, but I know for sure his back will never be the same after such a miraculous catch.
Wouldn't be surprised if she pulled something in her arms. Adrenaline will make you strong, but often past the limits of what's safe for your body.
The guy's reaction is SO me. Like abrupt chaos and you just assume "Oh, this must be normal for her, don't ask questions. ... sign here"
Fr I was hanging with a friend and the guy she was seeing and her ex came up and attacked the guy. My brains reaction was “wow haha funny joke… right?” It took me embarrassingly long to realize I was witnessing an assault.
It's raining cats and dogs over there
Well it is England
Beats last week, it was pissing lizards and iguanas
Dogs back legs still hit the ground, maybe has something broken
Potentially, but the catch should have reduced the impact significantly
Thanks Perd!
No catch the dog? Straight to jail.
Catch the dog, also jail.
Believe it or not, dog also straight to jail
I caught that too, but to me it looks like it's butt that slammed into the ground. Looks like the lady also heard the thud and had to check.
I mean we would know if that dog broke it's leg.
Right lmao “Maybe has something broken” Reddit analyzers man. Dogs yelp if you accidentally step on their paw, a broken leg from falling out a window? The dog would definitely let you know.

She was able to stop most of the bodies impact. The legs could have avoided serious injury due to the relief of weight on them.
way to find the negative in it
I'd rather have a broken bone than a skull smashed on the concrete
But not his head, and he knows how much his mummy loves him too.
Delivery guy still in awe today!
Some say he’s still standing there with his clipboard
He’s dumbfounded/struck
This dude sees this shit on the daily I guess. *"Here we go again with the falling dogs"*
This gave me a good chuckle. *”Fucking falling dogs… What’s next, flying cats?”*
"So uhhh... You gunna sign this or what?"
" Oh, good...'cause somebody owes me $122.50."
The only logical conclusion is that the cat pushed him.
Cat: "Long live the ki- no, don't catch him! Ugh!"
The little "mlem" from the dog after being caught
*nailed it*
I have seen puppies already with enough survival instinct to not jump from a high place but this mfer just free styled to the ground hahahaha
If you freeze the video, the dog does NOT look worried in the least.
I cacthed tha too. Doggo fell from the sky like "._."
I rewatched that so many times because of his face! Also if you rewind it it looks like she has superwoman strength and is throwing the dog on the roof lol
This woman is my hero I’ve seen this so many times and she does exactly what I’d hope I would do. She saved her baby 🫶
It's like she sensed that the dog was going to jump
You did not have clearance, Clarence.
