Man survives run-in with falling dog in Poland

A man was bruised but alive yesterday after a Saint Bernard dog thrown out a two-storey window landed on him as he was walking down the street in the southern-Polish city of Sosnowiec.

The 50kg dog was pushed out of the window by its drunken owner on Monday, police said.

"The dog had a soft landing because it fell on a man," said police spokesman Grzegorz Wierzbicki. "The dog escaped with just a few scratches. The man was also more in a psychological state of shock than physically hurt."

The one-year-old dog, named Oskar, was placed in an animal shelter while police investigate its owners for animal abuse.
