The video shows the goat squealing in agony as it fights for its life to stay above water and not drown. The baby goat's foot had been caught under a rock under the water, and it is unable to free itself to escape.
As onlookers simply watch the goat struggling the small pig decides to take action and can be seen swimming out as fast as he can towards the baby goat. When the pig reaches the goat it nudges it gently towards the side to safety.
Many have commented at how the pig acts "super cool" as it comes out from the water acting as if nothing amazing has happened, and that his act seems to just be "part of the job."
Some who watched the video have been moved to tears, admitting in the comments below the video,"I think I just shed some manly tears."
Others have rebuked the people filming and watching the incident, asking why they did not do anything to help, instead just watching the goat struggling for life.
"The water looked about 3 feet deep, why was the guy filming instead of getting the goat out?" asked one commenter.
