A missing dog has been safely reunited with its owner after a kind-hearted Malaysian spotted it resting along the Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (AKLEH) and stopped to help

Sharing the encounter on TikTok, user @thepisceansz posted a video captioned, "Whose child is this? On AKLEH Highway. Isn't it Chinese New Year? That's so sad."

The one-minute clip shows her pulling over by the roadside and gently coaxing the elderly dog into her car.

The clearly domesticated dog wagged its tail, responded calmly to her voice, and slowly climbed into the vehicle.

Uploaded on Wednesday, 18 February, the video has since drawn over one million views, with many praising the rescuer for her compassion and noting how the dog understood it was being helped

Less than 24 hours later, @thepisceansz shared an update confirming the dog, named Laila, had been reunited with its owner.

"Alhamdulillah, the owner has been found. Thank you so much to all my friends who helped me a lot in this rescue mission," she wrote.

The dog's owner also shared how Laila ended up on the highway.

The owner said her family had been staying at a homestay to celebrate Chinese New Year when the gate was accidentally left open by another resident, despite her having informed everyone beforehand.

"My heart stopped when she disappeared. To anyone suggesting I would ever abandon my 13-year-old girl on a highway — please think before you speak. I am eternally grateful to @thepisceansz for being Laila's guardian angel and getting her back to me," she said.
