KUALA LUMPUR, Oct. 27 -- A man in Petaling Jaya has been hailed a hero by social media users for going to great lengths to save a puppy that fell into a monsoon drain.

Using the name Arif Fiego, a two-minute plus video was posted on his Facebook page showing his dramatic rescue where he went on all fours and used a dustpan to scoop the puppy out.

In the caption, Arif wrote that the incident had occurred on October 23 about 5.30pm near PJS 3/11.

"Initially, we saw a dog was standing next to the drain and whining. A closer inspection found that there was a puppy inside the drain. The puppy was a newborn as its eyes had yet to open."

Seeing this, Arif then rushed to his stall located near the drain to pick up a dustpan and rescue the pup...
