A dog was filmed courageously pulling her drowning puppy to safety after it slipped into a deep puddle.

The young animal had fallen into the water, without realising that the puddle was actually a hole, reports the Metro.

In the clip, a man is seen shovelling water from the ditch in a bucket, whilst the puppy’s mum digs in an attempt to widen the hole.

She eventually dives into the gap herself, and fully disappears beneath the water.

Towards the end of the clip the dog is seen pulling a lifeless puppy onto the mud.

The cameraman then performs CPR in a bid to revive the tiny animal.

Luckily for the dog, the puppy begins to breathe again and is later seen among the rest of the litter.
