This is the dramatic moment two puppies were rescued after being trapped for six hours inside a motorcycle seat.<br /><br />The motorcycle was impounded by the police in Bali, Indonesia after officers stormed an illegal bike race at 3am and the owner fled. <br /><br />Klungkung District Police Station officers parked the vehicle outside their building while processing the report in the early hours of the morning.<br /><br />However, later that day at around 9am one of the cops on duty heard soft dog cries from the bike's trunk.<br /><br />They quickly opened it up and freed the sweltering pooches, which had been forgotten about by the rider when they dumped the bike and fled the illegal race.<br /><br />Adjunct Police Commissioner Putu Gede Ardana, Public Relations Officer of the Klungkung Regency Police said: "Our members were suspicious after hearing the sound of a puppy in pain. After searching, it turned out there was a puppy in the motorbike seat."<br /><br />The police officers forced open the motorcycle seat as it was locked. However, small gaps inside the compartment allowed them to breathe.<br /><br />Two crying puppies were found inside who were most likely trapped inside for at least six hours while the bike was impounded. <br /><br />Police believe they could also have been locked inside during the race. <br /><br />The dogs already looked limp when they were rescued because of the lack of oxygen inside.<br /><br />The police are now looking for the bike's owner who abandoned the vehicle to avoid being caught while the two puppies are staying at the station under the officer's care.<br /><br />The police chief added: ''The owner was not only taking part in an illegal race, but he was also subjecting the puppies to cruelty.''
