In this wild, wild world there are few things more excruciating to watch than a cute puppy dog struggling and suffering.

That’s why the following footage is so exhilarating to watch, because it captures a caring Iraqi soldier happening upon a young pooch caught and entangled in a rope fence, then successfully freeing the adorable mutt so he/she can return to its family once again.

The caption attached to the original YouTube clip has a curious last line (lost in translation maybe?): “May the Soldier saving the dog never receive instant karma fails.”

Instant Karma?

We think they met “may the soldier saving the dog never receive bad karma”? Something like that? If so, we concur.
