It's raining cats and dogs!

A dog that often jumped out the window of his owners' ground-floor apartment jumped out of the window of their new flat forgetting it was six floors up.

Fortunately the lucky dog was saved when it landed on a balcony three floors down from the apartment in Cologne.

The dog's owners Udo and Angela Baecker, both 29, called the fire department when they heard their pet boxer whining from the balcony below. They couldn't get him themselves because the tenants were away on vacation.

"We've only been in the new apartment for a week, but thought TJ would have got used to it after climbing up all the stairs. We never thought he'd try his usual trick of jumping from the window to get into the garden," said Angela.

I don't think this dog will be jumping out of any more windows anytime soon.
