An Australian tourist has won hearts across the internet after stepping in to save a cow that had slipped into a dry drain in India. The traveller, Duncan McNaught, shared the incident on Instagram, uploading a video that showed the helpless animal stuck in the ditch.In the clip, McNaught can be heard saying reassuringly, “No, he just fell in. We’re gonna rescue. Let’s go. Oh, the sacred cow in India is stranded. It’s okay, buddy.”The recording shows him initially struggling to lift the cow out on his own. An on-screen text admits, “I wasn’t strong enough she was heavy 2 people should do the job.” Eventually, with assistance from another man, he succeeds in pulling the animal free. The video ends with McNaught pointing to a small scrape and joking,
“Scrape my finger up.”
The rescue quickly went viral, with viewers applauding his compassion. One person commented, “What a beautiful act of kindness, you restored my faith in humanity today.” Another praised, “Not everyone would stop and help like this, much respect.”A third remarked, “The cow looked so relieved, this was really touching.” Similar emotions flooded the comments section, with one writing, “Blessings to you both! It’s good karma!” and another adding, “Beautiful act of kindness, God bless you both.”Messages of gratitude continued to flow in. “Thank you for being kind to that innocent soul,” one viewer wrote, while another highlighted, “Finally, a good cameraman who helps instead of filming.” A heartfelt response read, “Sacred or not, it doesn’t matter bro. You helped the animal that needed your help. May God bless you and your family.”Other users left equally warm reactions, including, “Bless you for caring about animals,” and the simple yet powerful tribute, “True hero without a cape.”In another animal rescue story, a woman fearlessly climbed down a 50-foot-deep, water-filled well to save a stranded cat in Mangaluru. The woman, identified as animal rescuer Rajani Shetty, earned widespread praise online for her incredible bravery and compassion. She even has her own official Instagram account, where her bio reads:
