THIS is the moment a poor pooch emerges from a hole in the ground after its owner's neighbour buried it alive because of its barking.

Police seized a heartless 82-year-old woman on March 7 after she confessed to burying her neighbour's pet in her garden in Planura, West Brazil.

Footage of the horror act showed the incredible moment the pet emerged from the hole, alive and covered in dirt.

The startled mutt darts out of the makeshift grave to the safety of its owners as one can be heard shouting: "Come out Nina!"

The elderly neighbour, who is seen lingering around in the background, can be heard saying off-camera: "Don't let her come over here anymore."

The dog's owner told police that her neighbour had previously confronted her over the barking.

She said the elderly woman told her she had dug a hole in the garden and buried the pooch because its barking was keeping her up at night.

The horrified 33-year-old rushed to the backyard, where she noticed an area of soil that had been recently disturbed.

Fearing the worst, the dog-mum immediately began digging with a hoe.

The poor brown pooch can be seen laying flat on her stomach with her body stuck in the tiny hole by a brick wall.
