A woman in TriBeca, Sarann Lindenauer, says her dog Alfie blew off her 11th-floor terrace in Independence Plaza during a recent wind storm. The TriBeca Trib reports that the wind lifted the dog off of her terrace, carried him east, and dropped him on the roof of a nearby townhouse. The dog just has a few bruises and sore paw from his adventure, and Lindenauer says, “I call him my miracle dog." Turns out a neighbor saw the dog running around in the rain on the roof it landed on, and brought him back to the building. At the time of the May 3rd incident Lindenauer was at the grocery store, and insists her Alfie didn't jump, saying, "I’m thinking that wind just took him." Yeah, we'll smoke what she's having.
