One lucky dog has survived nine years after being run over by a truck on the busy road.
This footage shows the dog flying in a white double cab to a Far North Queensland roundabout, before summersaulting through the bitumen.
However, the staffy manages to ignore the force and is soon seen flailing its tail.
Renee Oliver from Cairns was watching the unfolding incident as she waited for traffic to merge.
She got out of her car, and ran to rescue the dog.
As cars drive by, her dashcam captured the moment when she charged towards the animal.
Ms Oliver placed the dog, stunned by her actions in her car. She eventually met up with the owners further down the road.
“Lucky enough, someone had told him (the driver), that the dog was missing. I replied, “Mate, I have your dog!” 7News was told by Ms Oliver.
“It was probably shock for him, but he did not realize the dog was out of his car.

RSPCA claims that the video shows how important it is to protect your pet when driving.
Statisticians estimate that approximately 5,000 dogs fall or jump from cars each year, causing injuries or death.
A pet harness is recommended by the animal welfare organization for motorists when transporting animals.
Queensland law does not require that animals be restrained while they drive.
