During the clip, which was filmed on April 15, Ms Radima’s son approaches the narrow ditch and begins to pull the lamb’s hind leg.

After a brief struggle, the animal is released and hops away from the scene.

Just seconds later, the lamb attempts to leap over the ditch only to find itself plunging back into the very same hole it has just been released from.

Ms Radima told Viral Hog: ‘My son was returning home from school and noticed a lamb in a trench. He made several attempts to help but he did not succeed. 

‘He came home and asked me to help. 

‘We filmed the video for home viewing but then decided to upload it in order to encourage others not to leave animals in trouble.’

Ms Radima later took to Instagram to reveal the trapped lamb had been saved.
