Almaty residents formed a human chain in order to reach a dog, which fell into a deep water reservoir, with walls too steep to allow it to escape on its own.
Holding each other’s hand, a group of young people were able to inch down the wall, catch the dog and drag it up to safety.
The video of the touching rescue operation was later posted on the Instagram page of the city’s Club Dobryakov (the club of “good souls”).
In just one day the video had over 85,000 views.
