We’re all connected to each other.

No matter how “different” we may look from other animals or creatures we all are living things.

So when seeing one of our animal friends in trouble, we can either be an angel about it, or just be a horrible person.

Not a difficult choice considering we are superior beings.

That’s exactly what this man did when he saw this baby horse on a public road frantically trying to get back to its mother.

The man was driving down a country road just enjoying his day when he made it even better.

Poor little foal!

The open road is no place for anyone not on a motorized vehicle.

The foal can be seen running on the left lane before stopping in the middle of the road as the man immediately slows down and stops his car.

He calls out to the baby horse while trying to touch it but the little one just lets out little neighs of agitation and fear.

Who knows how long the little horse was out there?

Lucky he wasn’t hurt or worse!

Man with a big heart.

He guides the foal back to the side of the road where a guardrail blocks the little horse from joining its mother who looks on not knowing what to do.

Well this man knew what he had to do!

The man finally catches up to the little horse.

He bends down, wraps his arms around the foal and lifts him up and over the guardrail.

Muscle up!

A viewer named Janetta says,

“What a great person. He didn’t hesitate at all. He could have been injured himself if the foal had panicked and kicked him. Not to mention the fact that picking up a struggling animal that size was not an easy thing. Human Of The Year Award.”

She’s right.

Every act of heroism includes great risks.

But this man was so selfless, he didn’t care about the fact that he could have been hurt.

He just wanted to return the foal to its mother.

What a guy!

A storied history.

Man and horse go way back.

Horses were domesticated some 4,000 years ago and have been essential to mankind’s survival.

From farming, to travel, to war and sport, man and beast have been in a relationship for the longest time.

Just like any young, this foal needs its mother for nutrition and survival.

They need mom up until six months.

Just because they can walk and run doesn’t mean they can make it out there on their own.

Run wild and free!

The little horse is reunited with its mother.

They get to run together again, not having to worry about those machines that come flying past them on the road.

And it’s all thanks to the efforts of a random person who decided to stop and help.

Another viewer said,

“THIS is the kind of act that needs to be publicized in the media. Spreading this kind of love is infectious, it’s what our world needs. Great job guys!!”

And he’s right.

There’s too much negativity that simple acts of love such as this one could easily influence others and lift each other’s spirits.

So quit horsing around and try to be more like this man.
