A dog that got lost in the streets of Bangkok managed to find its way home after sniffing his way to his vet to ask for help.
Khiew Ngern, a four-month-old mixed black bull terrier, wandered off while his owner was working at the Bai Mai Kitchen restaurant on July 7.

The pup spent over six hours sniffing around the city until he reached what may be the second-most familiar location to his knowledge: his vet.
In a now-viral video, Khiew can be seen lurking around Phuttaraksa Animal Clinic in apparent hopes of catching someone’s attention from the inside.

Khiew paced restlessly at the entrance to the clinic.

Eventually, the doctor’s assistant took notice of Khiew and let him inside.
They then contacted his owner and the two were reunited.
