When a Dog Jumped Four Stories and Survived
Oliver plunged from a fourth-floor window and landed on concrete-yet walked away without a single broken bone. This Bernese Mountain Dog seemed perfect when he first arrived: affectionate, gentle, well-behaved. But the moment his owners left, he transformed into a creature possessed by panic. He'd howl, destroy furniture, pace frantically. The separation anxiety became so unbearable that he chose a four-story drop over being alone. His survival sparked a question that would reshape how we understand animal minds: If animals can suffer psychological breaks severe enough to drive them toward self-destruction, what does that reveal about the emotional landscape they inhabit? This incident launched an exploration into a hidden world of animal mental health-a realm where elephants grieve themselves to death, dolphins may choose to stop breathing, and gorillas need Prozac to cope with captivity. The journey challenges a comfortable fiction we've maintained: that psychological suffering is uniquely human, that consciousness and emotion are our exclusive domain.
