This is the tear-jerking moment a dying puppy mustered enough strength to wag her tail in delight as a group of rescuers approached her in the streets.
The poorly pooch was discovered by members of Animal Aid Unlimited in India suffering from canine distemper, a viral disease that causes fever, coughing, and catarrh.
Abandoned by the side of a road in Udaipur, the weak dog can be seen wagging her tail as the video maker and team of rescuers approach and give her some affection.
This poor dog was suffering from a fatal disease – canine distemper – and was left to die by the side of the road in Udaipur, India. However hopeless the situation, the pooch still had faith. She used her last bits of strength to wag her tail in affection towards the rescuers that approached her.
The pooch was found by the members of Animal Aid Unlimited, an animal rescue center.
They took the dog and treated her for 14 days with antibiotics and IV fluids. Luckily, soon she began to eat and walk again. Now she wags her tail with joy.
Looking much stronger and with a genuine smile on her face, the pooch wags her tail with a lot more vigour in the second half of the video.
Since appearing online the footage has been viewed more than two million times and numerous people have heaped praise on the charity workers.
