This is the heroic moment firefighters rescued a stray dog stuck in the middle of lake for two weeks after flash flood in Thailand.

The rescuers were informed that an exhausted pooch had been swept by deluge when severe weather battered a village in Songkhla province.

The starving creature stayed in the middle of the water since December 18 until the officers arrived on January 4.

Heartwarming footage shows the rescue volunteers on a boat reaching for the pooch inside a structure built by locals to catch shrimp.

The rescuers cut through the net so they could pull the dog on her back and into the boat.

Disaster response officer Suraphon Sarikkhapan said: ‘I was with one rescue officer and a fisherman from the village who volunteered to help.

‘We boarded a wooden long-tailed boat to reach where the female dog had been staying in the middle of the lake.'

Officer Suraphon added the dog was weak, hungry, exhausted and shivering from the cold when they found her.

He said: ‘I don't know how she survived the ordeal. She's a fighter and deserved better.'

The creature had been starving but the floodwaters were too high and locals were afraid the weary creature would attack them if they came close.

After more than two weeks when the flood receded, rescuers, with the help of fishermen, returned for the trapped dog.

The dog was taken back to Sinhanakhon Municipality fire station where the officers are taking care of her.

Rescue boss Suraphon added: ‘It will be her new home until new owners would adopt her. We are also waiting for someone to come and claim her in case she was a lost pet dog, not a stray.'
