Since shared, the video has taken the internet by storm. It opens to show a person climbing on the bucket of the digging crane, which takes him down to the middle of the canal. After waiting for a few seconds for the dog to come near, the man then grabs the pooch and puts it in the machine with him.

Thank you guys, I would hug you all.” Another said, “That was stressful just watching. Amazing rescue!” “Nature protects us only if we protect nature.
