Diego Andrés Dávila Jimenez from Bogota, Columbia was staying on the 13th floor of an apartment building when he heard distressing barking coming from out of the balcony, he walked towards the noise to see the problem.
As he made it outside, he looked up and saw his neighbours dog, Luna hanging by its hind legs from the balcony above, almost about to fall. He tried to nudge Luna back to its apartment by using a broom, to no avail.
He then decides to do the slightly crazy, no, the full-blown crazy, as a crowd builds below the man and the dog, Diego climbs out of the window, begins to climb towards the trapped dog above. He managed to get to the dog and pushed it back through the railing into safety. Diego climbs into his neighbour's apartment above him and is safe from harms way.
The video of Diego's heroic act was uploaded to Facebook where it has garnered praise for the animal rescuer.
