One of YouTube's latest viral videos features the tireless efforts of dedicated volunteers in India.
Animal Aid Unlimited -- a local rescue centre in Rajasthan, India -- was called after a passerby noticed a dog unable to move after falling into a hot tar pit.
The team used vegetable oil to remove the tar from the dog's body in a process that took three hours.
