This is the incredible moment workers miraculously rescued a lost dog stranded 165ft up an unfished motorway flyover in Thailand.<br /> <br />The five-year-old pooch named Leo ran away from its owner’s home and chased passing cars along the highway in Bangkok on Tuesday (February 26).<br /> <br />A driver reported the dog wandering along the busy road. But before the emergency services could arrive, Leo slipped through a gap in the concrete pillar.<br /> <br />Luckily, he landed on a 2ft wide ledge under the road. Rescuers arrived and spotted the dog trembling on the narrow piece of concrete. <br /> <br />Fearing that Leo could be scared and fall, the workers used pieces of grilled liver on sticks to build up the trust and form a bond to keep him calm.<br /> <br />A cherry picker crane arrived shortly after and lowered the volunteer rescuers under the flyover, where they were able to safely collect Leo. <br /> <br />On Thursday Leo was re-united with the relieved owner, Tawin Nanthasing, 59, who was pictured riding with him in an ambulance after collecting him from the shelter.<br /> <br />He said: ‘’Leo was staying at my daughter’s shop which is near our home. But she went away for a while and left him there.<br /> <br />‘’I think he became hungry and tried to find his way back to our house then became lost and started following the cars onto the bridge.<br /> <br />‘’I found out Leo was missing two days ago and thought he was lost forever. Then I saw on the news about the rescue of a dog on the road.<br /> <br />‘’I’m so happy to have Leo back. I’ll keep a close watch over him all the time now.’’
