While driving down the road, this man encountered a young horse that had gotten itself stuck between the wooden beams of a bridge while its mother stood close by not being able to help. The man carried the foal safely to the other side of the bridge.
Yikes! Cringe-worthy on many levels.....horses left to wander, mom so thin, baby pulled out by its neck. But at least saved for the moment.

I went to youtube to finish watching to see if the country where this happened was revealed. A few folks in the comments said he was speaking Portuguese, so therefore, this was probably in Brazil.
Although I thought the guy used the Russian word for thank you, spasibo (Спасибо ) , I take their word that it was Portuguese.
Big question: Why was the poor mama horse so starved? Brazilians usually value horses.
I know who would definitely know the language: DFW.

"The language is European Portuguese (as opposed to Brazilian Portuguese). There you go!" - DFW
Thank you, 🙏.
So, this in all likelihood happened in Portugal.
