Imagine that you’re driving down the road when you spot the cars in front of you braking a bit and swerving to avoid something mysterious.

While you can’t tell what it could possibly be at first, when you come up to the strange object it becomes clear: It’s a baby kitten begging for help.

While no one had any idea how this little baby got into such a scary place, one thing is certain: This little kitten would have surely died within minutes. While everyone was doing a good job at avoiding the poor baby eventually someone wouldn’t respond fast enough or even notice a life right there begging to be saved.

But instead of tragedy, one man slammed on his brakes, turned on his hazard lights, jumped out of his car, and walked up to the little creature. He poked it once just to make sure it was a kitten, and then picked her up and took her into his car before driving away.

Thankfully the kitten was totally fine and no one was injured on the road. While what the man did was certainly dangerous, if we felt safe enough in that situation, we’d like to think we’d do the same thing. There simply was no time to call an official for help, this kind of situation required quick thinking.

Would you do the same thing? Let us know in the comments below.
