This is the moment a small dog called ‘Cinnamon’ is scooped up by a tractor with a mechanical digger bucket while it clears a huge pile of snow.

The tiny pooch risked being cleared away by the tractor, which has a mechanical digger bucket attached to the front of it.

But it luckily survived the incident uninjured and it can be seen clambering out of the snow in the digger bucket at the end of the footage and making a safe getaway.

The incident took place in the town of Ikizce, which is located in Ordu Province in northern Turkey, on the Black Sea coast.

The footage was shot by the dog’s owner, who has been named as Erdogan Kereci.

The dog was reportedly dragged for about five metres in the snow, but it can be seen surviving the incident uninjured after being scooped up by the large machine.

After machine has finished collecting the snow, the tiny dog can be seen popping out of the digger bucket to one side and clambering away to safety.

The dog’s owner said that he noticed the incident after reviewing the video he had filmed.

He said: “Our municipality was working on the roads that were closed after heavy snowfall. I was videotaping the machine’s work from my house’s balcony.

“While watching the video I had taken one or two hours later, I saw that my dog ​​had been dragged through the snow by the machine.

“I went over to my dog immediately to check to see if he had any wounds. He was uninjured.

“He is currently in good health. The machine operator was not aware of the incident when I told him. He must have been distracted.

“The operator was very upset, he wanted to take him to the vet or something, but fortunately our dog was not hurt.”
