This touching video shows a team of rescuers as they work tirelessly to save a dog after it fell into hot tar in western India. The animal was left unable to move after it slipped into the thick, sticky substance and it cooled - coating its fur in a solid layer of tar, pictured main. The rescuers, who worked over two days to free the animal, described the tar as being 'as hard as rock' but he was back to normal at the end, pictured inset.
