As if you needed another reason to love dogs.
In this one-minute video clip that has received hundreds of thousands of hits on Youtube so far, a surveillance camera captures the heroic rescue of a good Samaritan, risking his own life to drag a wounded dog off a busy freeway in Chile.
Only, the good Samaritan has four legs and a tail.
The video shows a dog dodging through speeding cars to cross at least six lanes of traffic to pull the body of another dog, motionless after being struck by a vehicle, off the road and onto the median strip.
Using nothing but his paws and teeth, the rescuer slowly lead the wounded dog to safety.
It has been reported that both dogs survived.
After the video went viral on Chilean television stations and various websites, viewers have called in with hopes of adopting the courageous canine, who is apparently homeless and had run away shortly after the incident.
There was no sight of the heroic hound after highway workers and a television crew went searching.
