This is the heart-warming moment a blind dog was rescued after failing into a drain in Thailand on August 30.<br /><br />The stray mongrel was wandering along the roadside before suddenly plunging into the seven-metre-deep drain in Udon Thani, northeastern Thailand the night of August 29.<br /><br />Resident Boonchu Srisang followed the animal's whining and found the old and feeble dog balancing on a piece of wood, and immediately called the rescue foundation for help.<br /><br />Boonchu said: ''I heard the dog barking constantly when I came outside to open the shop. I looked around but I couldn't find where the noise came from.<br /><br />''So, I left the shop and walked around until I found him under the dirty drainage hole, looking very exhausted.''<br /><br />Rescue workers began gently petting and talking to the dog in order to gain the animal's trust before attempting to catch him and pull him up with a lasso, eventually climbing in to secure it. <br /><br />Boonchu said that the drainage cover was broken and left opened for about two days, causing the blind dog to fall into the hole accidentally.<br /><br />He added: ''I never saw this dog before. I guess he was trying to find the way home but unfortunately he fell.<br /><br />''I would like the government authority to have a look and replace the cover with the new one, so such accidents would not happen to other animals and people.''
