- ‘Luck’ was found in the middle of the Chao Phraya River near Bangkok, Thailand
- Piengkamol Kerdsomsri pulled him to safety when she found him in the river
- The dog now waits on the edge of the jetty every day, looking out over the water
Heartbreaking footage shows a dog waiting on a jetty for its lost owner after falling into a river from a passing boat a week ago.
The pooch, thought to be three or four years old, was found battling to stay afloat in the middle of the Chao Phraya River near Bangkok, Thailand, on the morning of October 23.
Resident Piengkamol Kerdsomsri beckoned the dog over and pulled him to safety when she found him in the river. He was shivering and drenched from the dirty water.
The dog, which Ms Kerdsomsri calls ‘Luck’, now waits on the edge of the jetty every day, looking out over the water hoping his owner will return – and every time a boat passes he bounds to the end of the pier expecting to see someone.

Ms Kerdsomsri has been caring for him for the last week but the dog still refuses to eat. Instead, he wakes up in the morning and waits on the edge of the jetty.
The resident said the sad dog has stayed in the same position and refuses to go anywhere else.
She said: ‘He fell from the boat that was riding past my house. I didn’t see that but I saw him swimming towards me.
‘The reason I believe he fell off the boat is because whenever he hears the boat engine, he always runs to the end of pier like he is expecting someone.

‘He will be sitting at the pier every morning and will be sad in the afternoon. He denies almost everything I feed him. I just wish that he could see his owner again,’ she said

Ms Kerdsomsri said that the dog was found at around 9am and spent the rest of the day sitting by the pier and howling at boats.
She added: ‘That was all he did for most of the first day. He was so scared and didn’t allow anyone to touch him or eat anything until the afternoon.’
Ms Kerdsomsri said it ‘breaks her heart’ to see the dog being so sad but said she will adopt him as her own if the owner does not come forward.
