After being rescued from the butcher, a mother cow can safely give birth to her young.
Her reaction to the rescuer doesn't leave the internet unmoved.
From the idyllic Bavarian Alps to the endless pastures in the far north – cows are not uncommon in Germany.
Anyone who moves outside the big cities often sees the four-legged friends grazing peacefully in front of them.
But their products and the food obtained from them also accompany most people every day.
A dash of milk in your morning coffee, a yoghurt in between and a cheese sandwich for dinner – dairy products are simply a staple in many households.
But beyond their usefulness, cows are particularly intelligent and emotional animals.
Cows are quite intelligent and emotional animals
As
Peta.de
reports, cows are very intelligent and social animals and even have a long-term memory.
Studies also show that they demonstrate a clear understanding of cause-and-effect relationships and, accordingly, interact in socially complex ways.
The mother-child bond in cows is particularly strong.
No wonder that a mother animal is particularly grateful for the rescue of her calf.

Cows, which are found in a group as classic herd animals, have a strictly hierarchical social system.
According to galileo.tv
, the animals, which usually appear randomly arranged,
follow a layer-like structure with a lead cow and a scout.
Cows can make friends
Cows can also show emotions.
This can happen when a cow disappears from the herd, leaving behind crying and screaming animals.
And friendships also seem to be made between the animals.
As galileo.tv
reports, these manifest themselves
through frequent standing next to each other in the pasture and increased mutual brushing with the tongue.

The animals' mother-child bond is particularly close.
A mother's separation from her boy is usually bad for her because she wants to raise her children herself.
The protective instinct of the mother animals is also strong.

Grateful cow touches the internet with her kisses
A 45-second clip that
thrilled so many users on the video portal
TikTok shows a cow continuously licking a young man's arm and thanking him with a kiss.
In a few sentences, the user @
vegan_warrioresse,
who re-shared the video on TikTok (originally uploaded by
@fundacionsantuariogaia
), explains that the young man is the rescuer of the cow and her boy.
The two, the young calf can be heard in the background of the video, were freed from a fattening farm during this rescue operation.
The heavily pregnant mother was then able to give birth to her child in the care of her rescuers.
Although, according to the user, the cow died shortly after the birth of her child and the video was recorded, at least her offspring can now live on in safety with the animal-loving rescuers.
TikTok users are really excited about the rescue operation
The heartwarming rescue operation does not seem to have left the many animal-loving TikTok users indifferent.
Accordingly, the comments under the video read full of emotions.
Enthusiasm and emotion are everywhere and the video of the grateful mom and her rescuer seems to have made the day for most people.
With so much sincere gratitude, it's no wonder the clip went viral on the video platform and has received more than 50,000 likes so far.
