This is the heartwarming moment a driver stopped to help a stray puppy that was almost killed when it ran out into traffic.<br /><br />Wutipong Phume was travelling home when the pooch dashed out in front of his car in Bangkok, Thailand, on Jully 22.<br /><br />The motorists slammed on the breaks and narrowly avoided crushing the tri-coloured pup - which emerged unscathed from the near-miss.<br /><br />Wutipong then followed the dog as it ran around 200 metres down the eight-carriage highway - coming within inches of being killed by cars whizzing by.<br /><br />He eventually pulled over and plucked the dog to safety before carrying him to a quieter spot away from the traffic.<br /><br />Wutipong said: ''The little dog is very lucky. Many are killed on the roads and this one was very close to being hit by so many cars.<br /><br />''I left him in a safe place so hopefully, he has learned from experience not to run into the road again.''
