This is the tear-jerking moment a dying puppy mustered enough strength to wag her tail in delight as a group of rescuers approached her in the streets.
The poorly pooch was discovered by members of Animal Aid Unlimited in India suffering from canine distemper, a viral disease that causes fever, coughing, and catarrh.
Abandoned by the side of a road in Udaipur, the weak dog can be seen wagging her tail as the video maker and team of rescuers approach and give her some affection.
In good hands: For 14 days the team treated the pooch for her distemper with antibiotics and IV fluids

One man strokes the starving puppy, which is covered in sores and pants heavily, before lifting her gently into the air and carrying her to the van.
A vet later attached the animal to a drip and for 14 days the team treated the pooch for her distemper with antibiotics and IV fluids.
Happy: Looking much stronger and with a smile on her face, the pooch wags her tail with a lot more vigour
