When you're coming home from a heavy night out sometimes you need a helping hand.

A hilarious video of a dog holding a cat in a fireman's lift as they make their way into a house has been filmed in Russia.

The small black pooch leaps around enthusiastically while the malingering moggy stands motionless on a windowsill.

Look, we have to get you back now: The small black pooch leaps around enthusiastically while the malingering moggy stands motionless on a windowsill

Fine, I'll carry you if you want: Eventually encouraged by his canine friend the cat jumps down although remains distinctly unmotivated. Fortunately the dog is full of energy and is determine to help his pal home

Eventually, encouraged by his canine friend, the cat jumps down although remains distinctly unmotivated.

Fortunately the dog is full of energy and is determined to help his pal home.

Approaching him from the side the hound tucks his head under the feline's body and makes off with him, the animal positioned around his shoulders.

Unfortunately the journey is hampered somewhat by the grey cat being of a similar size to the dog so his legs drag along ground.

God I'm a good friend: Approaching him from the side the hound tucks his head under the feline's body and makes off with him, the animal positioned around his shoulders

Jeez you're a bit on the heavy side! Unfortunately the journey is hampered somewhat by the grey cat being of a similar size to the dog so his legs drag along ground

But the pooch will not be defeated and powers on after a quick pit stop.

Trotting purposefully the helpful hound lugs his worse-for-wear friend into the house.

The woman filming talks in Russian throughout the clip yet makes no attempt to help the duo.

It is unclear what was wrong with the cat, some have joked that it might be drunk while others believe it is injured.

'Must suck for the dog to be the designated pet,' one online commentator quipped.  

It's straight to bed with you: But the pooch will not be defeated and powers on after a quick pit stop. Trotting purposefully the helpful hound lugs his worse-for-wear friend into the house

Remember to have a glass of water! It is unclear what was wrong with the cat, some have joked that it might be drunk while others believe it is injured
