This is the heartwarming moment neighbours carried a pet dog to safety through typhoon floods.

Mily Pahaganas was seen pulling her Aspin pooch as she waded through hip-deep murky water with her young neighbour, Trisha May Vertocio, in Cebu, the Philippines.

Footage captured by Gladie Mae Cambarijan shows the woman carrying her bags while holding the dog's front limbs, helping him out of the waterlogged street on November 6.

Gladie said: 'Her dog has newborn puppies, and they were also saved by our neighbours. They are all safe and unharmed.'

Kalmaegi, locally known as Tino, has killed at least 188 people and displaced hundreds of thousands across the country. Another 135 people remain missing.

State weather bureau PAGASA said the storm dumped more than a month's worth of rain in just 24 hours in Southern Leyte and Cebu.

The storm later made landfall in central Vietnam late on Thursday, uprooting trees, damaging homes, and causing widespread power outages before weakening as it moved inland.

No official death toll has been released, but state-run media reported one fatality in Dak Lak province after a house collapsed.

Climate experts said typhoons are becoming stronger due to human-induced climate change. Warmer ocean temperatures allow storms to intensify rapidly, while a hotter atmosphere holds more moisture, leading to heavier rainfall.
