A worried mother dog cried for humans to help rescue her puppies - then watched on anxiously as they were plucked to safety.<br /><br />Panya Taoputtha, 60, heard a dog desperately barking and whining outside of his house in Bueng Kan, northeastern Thailand on Tuesday (August 13) morning.<br /><br />He followed the sound and found the street dog running anxiously around the narrow gap between the concrete floor, where he also heard more dogs crying.<br /><br />Five hapless puppies were discovered tightly squeezed inside the ten-centimetre-wide hole. Panya then called for the rescue foundation to help save them.<br /><br />He said: ''The mother dog kept barking and leading me to the hole. I didn't understand what she was trying to tell me until I looked down and saw her babies.''<br /><br />Volunteers and locals gathered at the scene. They began making a small lasso before dropping it into the gap to catch the trapped puppies.<br /><br />Footage shows how two rescuers were tying the lasso onto the babies' leg before slowly pulling them one by one from the deep hole.<br /><br />The worried mother was seen watching the team throughout the rescue. All of the babies safely returned to her mother again after an hour-long rescue.<br /><br />Panya added: ''These dogs stayed in the neighbourhood for about a month now. Some cruel owner might have abandoned her when they knew she was pregnant.<br /><br />''I feed them and play with them sometimes, so they are quite familiar with me. The mother might intentionally come to my place this morning to ask for my help.''
