Men save toddler running on the road
This story is a nightmare for all parents with small children at home – but thanks to these two men and their heroic act, the story has a good ending to it.
Last week, 2 handymen named Mr. Manob and Mr. Kraingsak were on their way to work when they saw a young boy running around in the middle of Highway 21 in Phetchabun, Thailand.

Mr. Manob was quick to signal all nearby vehicles – one of which was an enormous truck – to slow down. And while Mr. Kriangsak pulled over, Mr. Manob then rushed to snatch the boy out of the road.
The heroic deed was caught on their dashcam, and the video and was uploaded on Mr. Manob’s Facebook.
Brought the boy back to home to safety
Mr. Manob and Mr. Kraingsak told AmarinTV that they first thought the toddler was a dog. But once they got closer, it was clear that the “dog” was actually a small boy, who was wearing only a diaper and shoes.

They then went to look for the boy’s family in the nearby village and found his grandmother. Needless to say, she was in shock when she learned about what happened. The grandma said the gate must’ve been let opened, causing r her grandson to get out unattended.
The boy’s family show their gratitude

After the incident, the boy’s family paid Mr. Manob a visit and showed their gratitude by offering him gift buckets.
We’re happy that this story ends on a very good note, but not all families will be this lucky. Always keep your eyes on your little ones, especially if – your house is sitting right next to roads.
