The dog suffered five broken ribs and several fractures to his pelvis in the plunge. He is currently recovering at an animal hospital.
Sam's owner, Bill McCourt, told the newspaper, “Whenever I tell someone what happened, they keep saying, 'The 15th floor? Are you sure it was the 15th floor?' because no one can believe it. They’re completely amazed. I just want to get him home. He’s a huge part of my family."
