We call ourselves the most intelligent animals on the planet, fellow hoomans, and we may very well be, but we also have a lot to learn from our animal friends about kindness. We hoomans are too quick to judge, especially by the way people look. In our heart of hearts, we're all hoomans who are just looking for love and acceptance, and it would do us well to remember that more in our daily lives. Don't worry, we've got just the thing to help you remember that everyone is worthy of love, despite being a little different.

And by a little different, we mean being born with an extra limb on the top of your head. If we saw a hooman walking down the street with an extra limb attached to their head, we might not have the same reaction as the cows in this awwwdorable animal video. They accepted this cow with a rare genetic condition that actually saved his life with no problems whatsoever. In fact, they made him feel more accepted than ever.

Who would have thought that something like this would have saved this cow's life. Usually, animals with genetic conditions like this don't have pawsitive endings. But now he gets to live a full life, and even gets the zoomies! We need more cow zoomies in our lives, ASAP.

It never hurts to give out kindness to someone. We live so much in our own worlds, thinking about our desires and needs, that we furget about the fact that others around us could be struggling. They might appreciate a simple smile or kind hello!
