A stranded puppy struggling to stay afloat was rescued by a passerby after it fell into a canal in the Philippines capital on May 16. <br /><br />Dennis Ferrer and brother Jessie were on their way home from work in Manila when they heard faint whimpering from under the bridge. <br /><br />Dennis said: "We thought it was a puppy because of its small voice. My brother saw the puppy was trapped on the shallow part of the canal." <br /><br />His brother looked for a stick to try and pry the stranded puppy out from its trap. <br /><br />"We don't know how it got there, it could have been an accident, or it could also have been dog owners who didn't know what to do with their dog's pups."<br /><br />The brothers took the puppy home with them. According to Dennis, a neighbour is now taking care of the rescued puppy.
