Hey, animal fam. If your child was trapped somewhere, you would do anything to save them, right? We know we would. We would do everything in our power to save our kid, no matter what it took. So when a momma dolphin couldn't figure out how to free her baby from being trapped in a net, she went to ask some humans for help. She even brought a fish to help convince the selfless humans to help her. How thoughtful!

The people followed the pod of dolphins in their boat, finding the baby porpoise trapped in a net, and successfully freed them. They let them go off on their merry way, but the next day, the same momma dolphin showed up at the docks the next day with another gift! Just goes to show that animals are capable of showing as much kindness, if not more, than us humans. Watch this incredibly wholesome and heartwarming video below!

    What a thoughtful momma! She knows that humans need a little convincing to do the right thing sometimes, so she brings them some food in order to sweeten the deal. Thanks! Looks tasty - now let's go find your kid!

    As much as we love all of these heartwarming animal rescue stories, we don't like that there are so many animals that need rescuing in the first place! We should learn to clean up after ourselves as humans a little bit better.

    bowtiebazaar Even if it's fake, at some point a dolphin gave gifts and one was freed from a net and that's pretty cool ☑

    718hooligan Yes dolphins have emotions, they're brain is equal sized and created as our the only reason they aren't equally as smart is because they use sonar underwater which takes up a crazy amount of brain power. But they have emotions, they actually name their children so they all have specific names and dolphins even talk shit and bully other dolphins. As well as feel love, happiness, fear, everything.
