Security cameras were rolling at a Chicago apartment building when a dog becomes trapped outside the elevator doors.

The video shows a man quickly walking onto an elevator, while the pooch was distracted by a woman in the hallway.

Moments later, the elevator doors close and the dog is seen being pulled towards the ceiling.
