A hotel manager in South Carolina walked in just in time to save a dog whose leash became caught in an elevator door just as it began to go up.

If the manager had not walked in, the animal would have been killed but luckily the Greenville Roadway Inn manager walked out of a storage closet in the knick of time.

Ben Duke jumped right into action as he realized one of his guests had gotten on the elevator with his dog. The only problem is, the dog was outside of the elevator and still on the leash!

The doors closed, and I guess he didn't realize that his dog had wandered off

Thankfully, Duke was able to act fast and save the dog's life.
