A family rescued their pet dog's puppies after she gave birth in a deep hole on a farm.

Supaporn Panthasen's pregnant pooch Dang went missing for two days so she asked for her relatives' help searching for the creature in Sisaket province, Thailand.

The search party heard loud barks from a rubber tree plantation and went there together before discovering the pups under a hole dug by their mum.

Footage shows the family members helping each other as they pulled the babies out of their makeshift nest.

Supaporn's sister Yubong who helped with the rescue said: ‘Their hole could have been flooded if we hadn't found them on time. We were relieved the dogs were safe.'

They also found the dog Dang near the hole, trying to get to her children while her owners pulled them one by one with a basket attached to a pole.

Yubong added: ‘We all took the puppies back home with Dang. I hope she doesn't leave us again.'
