When you see someone in pain, you probably feel the urge to help them out. Animals are no different.

At the start of this video, it might seem like this pup has malicious intentions. But after a few seconds, you’ll see that he’s only got the best in mind for this baby bird. Even though the pooch’s owner keeps him chained up, with only a dirty crawl space for shelter, the dog’s spirit hasn’t been crushed…far from it.

The next time anyone tries to say that animals don’t feel compassion or emotional pain, think back to these two adorable creatures. This is all the proof you need!
