A woman has gone viral after stopping her vehicle to assist a sad-looking pooch who was unable to reach his stuffed pig toy that had fallen over the fence.

As Claire Cummings revealed, she was on the way to visit her friend when she saw a huge dog leaning on the fence of his home and looking down at the toy he accidentally dropped.

Seeing the pooch struggle to get it, the animal lover decided to stop her car and assist the dog.

“He could have easily jumped over the wall he was leaning on to get it but has obviously been trained very well not to jump over the wall,” she said in an interview with The Dodo.

As the woman explained, she instantly knew what was going on and what she had to do to solve the dog’s issue because she owns a walking business for dogs.

And so, Claire stopped her car and picked up the toy before handing it over to the dog.

“We are huge animal lovers and would have hated to have thought that he could be sitting there waiting and nobody would help,” she added.

As the woman claimed, the pooch was extremely happy when he received his toy back. He also let Claire touch him for a moment before he went on to play with his stuffed pig.

After the dogwalker’s story went viral, people were quick to applaud Claire for her actions.

“Such a beautiful thing to do, I also couldn’t walk by knowing the dog is sad because his toy’s missing,” someone wrote.

“His face looks so so sad, it’s as if he just lost his best friend,” another one suggested.
