A cow and her calf had fallen into a fast-flowing river and were struggling to swim. After being swept over a small dam, the calf got stuck among some branches near the riverbank. Several people worked together to lift it out of the water and bring it to safety. When the calf was reunited with its mother, it eagerly ran into her embrace.

This footage was filmed by Mr. Wang, in Dongyang, Jinhua, Zhejiang, at 16:30, on June 13, 2025.

The uploader said: “The owner had let the cows graze in the riverbed, but the water suddenly rose, and he didn’t have time to get them out. They were swept downstream by the flood! I followed the current on my scooter and found the cow and calf that had been carried away. The calf happened to be stuck on those branches, so I went down and rescued it. The mother cow jumped up from a gap in the bank by herself.”
