The heart-warming story was revealed in a video featured on the Chinese Military Net on Wednesday.
According to the footage documenting Eighteen's rescue journey, the little brown pooch was discovered by a group of Chinese soldiers who were patrolling the border on Monday.

It seems like Eighteen is not the only furry officer in China.
In November, a heart-melting video became viral in China after a naughty puppy surprised its firefighter friend who is working out during a training session.
The adorable video, filmed in the Chinese city of Chengdu, shows the young dog running around the uniform officer before 'attacking' him with a kiss while the man is crawling on the ground on all fours.
