A heartwarming video has emerged of two men in rural India rescuing a puppy after it got stuck in some bushes.

The footage, captured last week in Tinsukia, shows the distressed puppy crying for help after being entangled in the roots of a bush.

One of the men can be seen carefully removing the roots from around the dog's leg and helping it out.

Writing online about the rescue, the filmer said "It was cold so we decided to save the puppy, as it also has a life to live,"

"If we hadn't saved the dog it would have died," he added.

A dog was stuck in bushes and was shouting too loud no one was helping the poor puppy and it was cold so I decided to save the puppy as it also has a life to live and if I wouldn't saved the dog it would have been died .
