A marathon runner rescues a lost puppy midway through a race, and carries it all the way to the finish line, in this adorable animal rescue video.
Khemjira Klongsanun, 43, noticed the other athletes dodging the bedraggled pooch seven miles into the marathon in Ratchaburi, western Thailand, last Sunday (January 20).
But the fitness fanatic slowed down her own progress to kneel by the roadside and gently coax the trembling little bangkaew, or Thai wolf dog, over to her.
With no houses or crowds nearby, she realized that the puppy was lost or had been abandoned and feared he would struggle to survive in the wilderness.
Khemjira, in a show of compassion, then picked up and cradled the dog, using her own towel to shield it from the blistering sun, before continuing the race.
Incredibly, she ran with it under her arm for a further 19 miles and crossed the finish line holding the puppy.
The shop owner has now adopted the puppy, believe to be just a couple of months old, and named him ”Chombueng” after the name of the marathon.
Khemjira said: ”It seemed to me that this little guy was lost. There were no houses, no other dogs, or no people around. So, I picked up the puppy, if only to take him out of the unsafe environment.”

That little guy looks so confused. xD I would be too if a nice lady rescued me but then ran with me for 18-19 miles.
Divine meeting
They are both adorable, very luck run for both Khemjira and the puppy, best mates!!!
So sweet wish more people in the world had the compassion of this one.
I want to give her a gold medal.
They look so cute together.

Maybe the puppy's mother went somewhere for food, u cant pick as soon u saw right, u should wait for some while whether the other dog might come….
I'm pretty sure a marathon race is a great time to take.the opportunity along the way to "rescue" a puppy. Like when a cop gets a call to a fast food, or any restaurant, there's a good chance he may "rescue" a sandwich while there…just good science
True Love!
