This is the heartbreaking moment a frantic mother dog carries her lifeless pup to safety after being hit by a car.<br /><br />Onlooker John Moraga said the dog and the puppy were scavenging along the highway in Bulacan, the Philippines on July 6 when an approaching car hit the young pooch.<br /><br />He said: "I was standing in front of my house when we heard the dog squeal in pain. They were looking for food when the puppy tried to cross."<br /><br />The car driver fled without stopping to check the puppy as they were only strays and no one would report it to the authorities.<br /><br />The mother took its puppy to the abandoned lot beside a school where its other puppies were, but it eventually died.<br /><br />John added that he is already coordinating with concerned people how to locate the dogs for adoption and reduce the risk of them being hit by cars.<br /><br />He said: "I don't know where the dead puppy is now. Sometimes, I would bring food and check on them from time to time. I cannot afford to adopt all of them since our house is small, but I can take one.''<br /><br />The incident was reported to the village officers to find the identity of the car driver who hit the puppy.
