This is the moment two dogs bark at a drainpipe and signal to their owner that a cat is trapped inside.

The incident took place in the city of Zhuhai in the Chinese province of Guangdong on the night of 3rd July.

The dogs’ owner Ms Li told AsiaWire that she was taking her pets for a walk when they made a beeline for the drainpipe and started barking and pushing it with their paws.

She leaned closer and heard the faint whimpers of a kitten inside that belonged to a fifth-floor neighbour.

Ms Li told AsiaWire: “It happened on 3rd July in the drain of a rented home next to my house. We found the cat while out walking. Its owner lives on the fifth floor.

“According to the landlord of the property, the cat’s owner is a university student preparing for postgraduate entrance exams and is too busy studying to take care of it. He should let me adopt it.”

“The cat was stuck in the drain for most of the day because its owner was going to class and did not have time to take care of it.

In the footage, one of the clever dogs is seen barking at the drainpipe before the other pooch arrives and they start sniffing and pushing the pipe with their paws.

In the second clip, a man is seen sawing the bottom of the pipe before revealing a cute kitten trapped inside.

In the third video, the owner is seen feeding the cute kitten with a syringe shortly after its ordeal in the drainpipe.

The owner took the cat to the vets for checks and it only suffered minor cuts and scrapes.
