New York City. One of the most popular places to call home among theandnbsp;35.5 million Americansandnbsp;who move every year. It has its pros and cons but remains one of the most desired places for people to live.

It can be a tough city to get used. The pace, price, noise, and the general environment take some time to fully adapt to. Since that’s true of human beings, one can only imagine what it’s like for our pets. Byandnbsp;10 weeks old, most puppies are able to sleep through the night. Something that can be distinctly difficult in the city that never sleeps. There are rarer, yet exponentially more terrifying problems, too.

Most dog breeds need to go for a walk at leastandnbsp;once per day. Manhattan resident Emma Heinrich was taking her French Bulldog Winston for a walk at night recently. Living in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, they stroll together nightly. One mile of hiking — concrete jungle though it may be — burns aroundandnbsp;500 calories, so their daily routine is good for both of them.

When the pair arrived back at their LES apartment, Heinrich entered the building with Winston, thenandnbsp;removed his leashandnbsp;just before walking through their apartment door, something she’s always done. Winston decided he would take this opportunity and lead Heinrich on a merry jaunt up to the sixth story of the apartment building. Chasing him, she saw him run through an open utility door on the roof of the building. In fullandnbsp;try-and-catch-meandnbsp;mode, Winston lost track of theandnbsp;roof’s edgeandnbsp;and disappeared over the side.

“I tried to get him to come to me but he bolted again, towards the front edge of the building. I saw him try and slow down at the last second but it was too late and he went over the edge,” said Heinrich.

Winstonandnbsp;fell six storiesandnbsp;off the apartment building and crashed through the sunroof of a parked car. His only injury was a small scratch. No broken bones. Completely alive. Just hanging out in the car he’d just plummeted six stories through the sunroof of.

Bystanders were all sorts of taken aback. Heinrich got to the street level and reported seeing a crowd of people surrounding a car and she wasn’t sure what had happened. Then she saw her dog,andnbsp;very much alive, in the front seat of the vehicle.

“I heard this giant smash alongside a woman shrieking. I naturally thought there was a car accident, as everyone was staring at this silver Dodge Challenger. The crowd gets closer to see the sunroof completely smashed in and a dog standing in the cockpit,” someone later reported on Reddit.

Another reported standing next to the car when glass suddenly flew at her. Then she saw a dog sitting in the front seat of the car and was promptly told the dog had fallen off the adjacent building.

In the U.S., we spendandnbsp;three times more on healthcareandnbsp;than any other country in the world. This is equally applicable to our pets. Winston spent a night in the animal hospital where they monitored his breathing after an x-ray revealing some lung bruising, but he turned out to be completely fine.

Heinrich expected that she would’ve been rushing fromandnbsp;roof to streetandnbsp;to collect her dead dog. She was met with something nothing short of extraordinary.

“I’m still trying to wrap my head around the astronomical odds of him walking away from this fall with nothing more than a few cuts and scratches,” Heinrich said. “It’s an absolute miracle that he is alive right now.”

Winston’s minor injuries are on the mend and Heinrich says he’s pretty much back to his usual self. Though, he may have lost all off-leash privileges for the time being.

Chance the Snapper became an internet sensation when the alligator was discovered in Chicago’s Humboldt Lagoon, thousands of miles away from the animal’s natural habitat. According to the AV Club, the gator was named in honor of Chicago’s own Chance the Rapper, in part, thanks to his powerful jaws.

Thought to be an illegal pet that was dropped in the lagoon, Chance was able to draw crowds of people during his elusive stint in the water, even sparking satirical Twitter accounts, like ChanceDeSnapper and ParkGator, made in his honor. From there, Chance’s celebrity only grew as he managed to evade capture from the Chicago Herpetological Society. Unfortunately, people couldn’t use the lagoon until Chance was captured. While white water river rafting isn’t popular in Chicago, fishing, boating, and other water sports were put on hold until the gator was caught.

Despite plenty of traps, constant water surveillance and drones, it took days for the alligator to be captured by Florida animal control specialist Frank Robb. Clocking in at 5ft and 3inches tall, Robb was able to catch Chance using only a fishing pole and some bait.

Rumors suggested that the alligator would be moved to the Lincoln Park Zoo or the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago. Unfortunately, Chance the Snapper has officially been relocated to Florida, one of the animal’s natural habitats. While $300 billion is spent on business travel in the United States every year, it’s likely a live gator hasn’t traveled that far in a long time.

“They’re not made to be in Illinois,” notes Susan Horton, a veterinarian at the Chicago Exotics animal hospital. “It’s warm now, but they can’t survive our winters, and we don’t know how [the alligator] was cared for by whoever released him.”

Chicagoans can now only see Chance online or if they make the trek to the St. Augustine Alligator Farm in Florida. Some, however, will join the ranks of 45 million Americans across the country and opt for something a little more permanent.

In honor of Chance the Snapper’s reign in the City of Chicago, some locals have chosen to memorialize the gator by getting a tattoo. At least four people have chosen to invest in a Chance the Snapper tattoo because they were inspired by the little gator’s story. Considering there are almost 21,000 tattoo parlors in the U.S., they likely didn’t have trouble finding an artist, either.

One Tri-Taylor native has spent more than six years visiting Humboldt Park. Zack Triveline already has invested in 16 tattoos, but couldn’t resist honoring Chance the Snapper. The circular tattoo features Chance in the lake along with the date when Chance was first seen and then finally captured.

“Everybody has loved it so far. I’ve had a lot of people say, ‘I want the same one,'” exclaims Triveline in an interview. “Everybody who sees it knows exactly [who Chance is]. I’m sure in a couple months when everybody forgets about it then I’ll get a couple questions, but for now everybody loves it.”

Another homesick Chicagoan couldn’t help but follow the news about Chance the Snapper from her new home in Las Vegas. After Chance was caught, Danielle Call thought it was only natural to get an image of Chance with a bowtie — one of his iconic looks — on her ankle. Her friend followed suit and invested in a tattoo to honor the alligator on her fingers.

While Chance might not live in Chicago anymore, there’s no doubt he’ll continue to live on in the hearts of Chicagoans everywhere.
