This is the hilarious moment a dog fooled a driver into thinking it had injured its hind legs by dragging them in the dirt.
San Eang was driving through a village in Banteay Meanchey province, in northwest Cambodia when he saw the stray pooch in the middle of the road.
San Eang and his son began filming as they stopped the car and got out to help the animal which appeared to be partially paralysed.

After realising they had been fooled by the stray dog, San Eang and his son burst out laughing.
He said: 'Right when we thought we could rescue an injured animal, this dog played a tricks on us. What a pity.'
He added that the dog may have only been scratching an itch on its stomach that's why it was dragging its body in an unusual way.
Eang said: 'We were almost teary-eyed when we saw the brave dog trying to live despite its injuries.'
The father and son gave the dog some snacks, which it seemed satisfied with and bounded away.
