Wearing just shorts and a hoodie, the man runs after the rabbit and wades into the burning brush after panicking and anxiously pacing. He spends several seconds coaxing the frightened animal out and into his arms. The video ends with the man walking away with the animal, presumably to a safer spot.

The video, which quickly began being circulated on social media, was met with praise, some claiming that it would restore your faith in humanity.
