Rally driver narrowly avoids dog thanks to spectacular handbrake turn

A driver in the Portuguese Constalica Rallye Vouzela managed to save the life of a stray dog by performing a spectacular slide. The unnamed rally driver was clearly travelling at quite a speed when he spotted the unfortunate mutt in the middle of the road.

Faced with a split-second decision, the driver pulled the handbrake on his Ford Fiesta rally car and executed an enormous drift, coming to a halt inches from the poor pooch and giving it a chance to run away.
