This heartbroken dog has been waiting on a jetty for its lost owner every day for the last week after falling into the river from a passing boat.<br /><br />The pooch, believed to be three or four years old, was seen swimming in the middle of the Chao Phraya River near Bangkok, Thailand, last Wednesday (October 23) morning.<br /><br />He was riding on a ferry with his owner before being knocked off balance by a ripple and plunging into the water.<br /><br />Resident Piengkamol Kerdsomsri saw the dog battling to stay afloat as it paddled over to her home, which has a wooden walkway on the edge of the river. <br /><br />The kind-hearted neighbour beckoned over the pooch and pulled him to safety. He was shivering and drenched from the dirty water.<br /><br />Piengkamol has been taking care of him for the last week but the dog, which she has nicknamed 'Luck', still refused to eat. <br /><br />Instead, he woke up in the morning and waited on the edge of the jetty, looking out over the water with a sadness in his eyes and hoping that his owner will return. <br /><br />Every time a boat passed by, 'Luck' bounded to the end of the pier expecting to see someone - but each time the boat passed by without stopping.<br /><br />Piengkamol said the sad dog has stayed in the same position and refused to go anywhere else.<br /><br />She said: ''He fell from the boat that was riding past my house. I didn't see that but I saw him swimming towards me."<br /><br />''The reason I believe he fell off the boat is that whenever he hears the boat engine, he always runs to the end of the pier like he is expecting someone."<br /><br />''He sat at the pier every morning and looked sad in the afternoon. He denied almost everything I fed him. I just wished that he could see his owner again.''<br /><br />Piengkamol said that the dog was found at around 9 am and spent the rest of the day sitting by the pier and howling at boats. <br /><br />She added: “That was all he did for most of the first day. He was so scared and didn’t allow anyone to touch him or ate anything until the afternoon.'' <br /><br />Piengkamol said it broke her heart to see the dog being so sad. She said she will adopt him as her own if the owner would not come back.
