A video of a brave man saving a Shih Tzu believed to have been thrown or fallen into a river in Sungai Langat, Kajang caught the attention of netizens.
With more than 14k views, the video shows a man named Janis wading through knee-deep waters carrying the dog.
Here is the video of Janis in action.
Brave right!
Shared on the Facebook page Malaysia Independent Animal Rescue, it is reported that Shih Tzu is of old age and is currently suffering from fever.
In its status it writes, “The Shih Tzu was rescued by MIAR staff Janis near Sungai Langat, Kajang.”
“MIAR is unable to verify how the dog ended up in the river. It was either thrown in or fell into the very deep river.”

The Shih Tzu, however, is not doing too well.
“It is currently admitted and has a high fever. It is old and has cataract problems. Blood tests were also carried out.”
The poor thing.
Whilst the story of how the dog ended up in the river remains a mystery, we sincerely hope that the Shih Tzu will find a good home soon.
