NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — How do you pull a baby elephant out of a deep, muddy hole? A rope and a Land Rover. Then the payoff: A frantic baby elephant sprint to mom.

A heartwarming video of the rescue of a baby elephant in a Kenyan national park that lies in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro gained a mass of viewers on Thursday. The video shows the rescuers' potentially dangerous faceoff with the mother elephant and their struggle to get her calf out of a 5-foot (1.5-meter) hole.

Can't help but shed a tear

Can't help but shed a tear for this joyous reunion..It's ok if we put ourselves in place with the mother elephant, the baby elephant, the girl (doing a great job driving btw) and the guys on the rope for this whole experience...

Because we are all ONE, we can totally relate to all the emotions from all involved..The sense of panic in the mother's heart for her baby, the baby's terror being stuck in a hole and being away from mom, let alone, being touched by man....Concern and with a plan for victory and LOVE, shines with these three beautiful people.

Angels led these three to the right spot at the right time for this little one's rescue and ultimate reunion and connection with mom and family...Kinda like us everywhere, right? :) We need MFG and All the Company of Heaven every day..Just like that baby ascending with a little help from friends, we too, will all ascend with a little help from our friends..LOL..I am thankful for every One! Sending Much PEACE, JOY, LIGHT AND LOVE TO ALL! NOW! :) <3

Yes!
