Overview
- The incident occurred on October 16 in Villa Crespo, Buenos Aires, coinciding with World CPR Day.
- The dog was left outside the elevator as its leash caught in the doors while the owner rode inside, described in reports as a foreign woman.
- Neighbor Leonardo Blumberg removed the collar and performed CPR, reviving the schnauzer after it had hung and gone limp.
- Building staff later freed the elevator, and the dog was handed to the owner’s partner after the rescue.
- Blumberg, a composer and producer with a studio in the building, says he will consult veterinarians and publish a short jingle‑style video to teach animal CPR.
