The incident took place in Russia and was captured on
camera by a local resident, who filmed the dog barking anxiously from a rooftop
in Saratov.
In the clip, a man can be seen bravely scaling the building
in an attempt to get to the dog and rescue it from the huge drop.
While it is unclear whether the man is attached to a
harness, he does appear to receive help from an additional two men who stand on
the roof with him.
After approaching the dog, the man attaches a lead to it
and begins pulling it away from the edge of the roof and towards safety.
But despite his best efforts, the frightened animal fights
against the man and makes it difficult for him to complete his rescue
operation.
Eventually the man is able to maneuver the dog towards his
two accomplices who pull it to safety.
The video concludes with the rescuer lying on the roof as
the other two men continue to tend to the dog.
According to video maker, it is unclear who owns the dog
and how it was able to gain access to the roof.
