Every life matters, no matter how small. In a touching rescue that highlights compassion and quick action, fire and rescue officers saved a helpless puppy from a ditch—while its worried mother waited nearby, watching anxiously as her baby was brought back to safety.
Every life matters; every living being deserves to be taken care of. A video from Tamil Nadu not only proves this but also highlights that the world still has compassion. In the video making rounds on social media, few officers from fire and rescue department can be seen rescuing a puppy from a ditch.
In the video shared by user Nadheena Bhanu, a group of fire and rescue officers is seen surrounding a small hole in the roadway. In vicinity, a female dog can be seen getting all anxious. Apparently, it was the female dog who alerted the people about her baby falling into the ditch, and thereafter people alerted the fire and rescue department about the same.
Further, the video details that the officers are trying to rescue a puppy that has fallen into a ditch. They try to rescue the puppy with rope and a PVC pipe, and finally they succeed. Soon after seeing her baby out of the ditch, the mommy dog rushes to pamper the puppy.
What follows is a heartwarming moment that will leave you emotional - as soon as the puppy is rescued he can be seen approaching the officer, which clearly looks like an act of gratitude. Notably, the officers also ensure the hole is closed - which looks like an opening to a ditch that has been dug, to prevent any further risk to lives.
Not to miss, the happiness and relief of the mommy dog is also evident in the video. Yes, a mother is always a mother.
As soon as the video hit the internet, people were seen celebrating the moment of compassion and humanity in the comments section. Many social media users thanked the officers for taking out their time and putting in sincere efforts to secure the life.
'Every life is precious,' read one comment.
"Small help, big happiness," read another one.
