Two stray dogs brave traffic to rescue pet hit by a car
Two stray dogs in China recently demonstrated incredible bravery when they rushed to rescue an injured pet pooch after it was struck by a passing car.
A video on Weibo shows a white dog attempting to cross the road when it is hit by a vehicle, sending it tumbling before it collapses motionless in the middle of the street.
In the footage, which is timestamped 30 March, two other stray white dogs that had been following closely behind immediately run to their fallen companion.

As they hover around the injured dog, vehicles continue to pass by, with some swerving to avoid hitting them.
However, none of the drivers stop to help.
After several minutes, one of the dogs drags its companion to the roadside, saving it from being run over.

They spend some time trying to wake it, but their efforts are unsuccessful as the dog remains unconscious.
