Boy spotted 'upset momma cow' and asked his mom to turn the car around — she was glad she listened to him

Animals can not speak up when they need help or when something is wrong. At most, they can use gestures and actions, but often find themselves helpless. Being observant of their needs is one of the kindest and remarkable things we can do. A little boy named Wyatt had an amazing sense of compassion towards animals, and when he spotted a cow who seemed upset, he did not hesitate to act. He urged his mum, who goes by @wranglingmomma on TikTok, to stop and what he did next proves that he had the biggest heart. His thoughtful and brave approach is being applauded by many. 

Wyatt and his mum were driving back from breakfast. He spotted a cow all alone in an open space. “Wyatt looked over and saw a very upset momma cow with no other cows around,” the mom explained through the video’s overlay text. Wyatt did not know why the cow was there, but somehow he was aware that it might be in trouble. He asked his mother to turn around and quickly got out of the car and walked towards the animal.  As he walked closer, the cow got scared and tried to walk away. However, ever so gently, he slowly approached her, trying his best to ensure he meant no harm.

The video captured the little boy moving ahead slowly, giving the cow enough space to understand what was happening. Though the cow backed up and walked a little farther, he noticed why she had been there. Her baby calf had fallen into the creek there and was stuck. Unable to help her baby, the poor cow stood in the deserted space all alone. Wyatt immediately connected these dots and, without hesitation, went over to the creek. He cautiously moved around the steep and tricky parts and gave the calf a push up so it could find ground and reunite with its mother. 

Had it not been for his push, the calf would have been stuck there and risked its life and the helpless cow would not be able to do anything. The cow watched from a distance, now looking at the calf, still processing what had happened. As Wyatt walked away, the cow and calf looked at him as if they wanted to thank him but could not express it. “He has the biggest heart. This boy blows my mind daily,” the mom wrote. Wyatt’s action of kindness and observation says a lot about him as a person. Children who are compassionate towards animals are likely to learn to be more empathetic and happier, per Euro Kids. 

It also plays a role in determining their personality and several other factors like reduced aggressiveness, better quality of life and so on. Several people commended the little boy for his brave heart. @krishardey10 said, “As a farmer, I can’t tell you how much this was appreciated by the owners. Kudos to your son!” @mistylewis39 added, “He saved a life. No one will ever be able to take that from him.”
