This is the adorable moment a stray dog gives its buddy a satisfying back scratch in front of a shop.

The two pooches were standing in front of the convenience store when one of them started to itch in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand on October 31.

Onlooker Bantita Moontipathom saw the adorable act of doggy kindness as the brown Aspin scratched the white dog's back, where its paws could not reach.

The pooch appeared to be satisfied with the scratch as its legs wiggled after its friend helped.

Bantita said she was so moved by the touching show of companionship she took out her phone and record the oddly adorable scene.

She said: "This is exactly what I need to see after a long day of college classes. Looks like the white one had reached cloud nine. So cute!"
