What did you think?

The first attempt doesn't hold. A dog struggling against a canal's steep concrete side slips underwater while a man above tries to reach it with a long pole.

The rescue, posted by clips channel Sassy as "Kind Man Saves A Dog Trapped In A Canal", has added more than 3 million views in a day, roughly sixteen times its usual daily pace. Sassy's description places the encounter in Guangxi, China, and says the man stopped after spotting the dog while riding his scooter.

There is no speech in the footage. The work is visible: the man returns to the grass to adjust and untangle the loop pole, then leans down for another attempt. Once the cable is around the dog, he draws it up the slick slope. On the bank, he immediately bends to release the loop.

Viewers are discussing the lifting method and the possibility of the dog slipping during the climb. Some also wonder whether the rescuer took it home. Sassy's description says the dog was taken back to the village, but doesn't say it was adopted.

Animal rescues are moving elsewhere on the channel, too, including a clip of men freeing a deer suspended by its antlers. This dog's rescue ends with a quieter image: the loop removed, the wet animal walks away across solid ground.

  • Watching this gave me anxiety! I was so scared that he was going to get the dog part way up and then the dog was going to slip down and get hurt. Thank goodness he was ok and kudos to that man for saving his life!!
