He held onto the dog and reached out to a friend for help. With a little bit of teamwork, the duo managed to get the canine out of the ditch.

Knowing that it had escaped danger, the dog could be seen cheerfully wagging its tail.

Teo, who witnessed the entire thing, said the white canine had fallen into the drain after it tried to evade an oncoming car

"On that day, there were quite a number of dogs within the vicinity of the monsoon drain. The white canine had accidentally fallen into the drain after it was startled by a vehicle. Due to the depth and lack of solid ground, it had to keep swimming.

Thankfully, the group of men saw the dog in distress and took action immediately. I was very worried about their safety because the ditch is really deep," Teo said as quoted by Chinese daily Sinchew.

She also commented that the dog is really friendly and could understand instructions from people

"Although I don't know the guys personally, I would like to thank them for their kind deed," Teo said.
