Along with 6.7 million views, the video has also amassed a number of comments.
"What a wonderful creature the elephant. Extremely intelligent and loving," wrote one person in the comments section. "Wow. What a remarkable film and testimony to the love and empathy of these hugely powerful giants!" said another. "Beautiful," a third added.
The incident actually took place in 2016 at the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand. The video shows Kham Lha, one of the youngest residents of the elephant sanctuary, rushing to save his friend, Darrick Thomson.
According to The Dodo, Kham Lha and Darrick, a volunteer at the park, share a remarkably close bond. Apparently, Darrick was just calling out to Kham Lha from the water and was never in any danger.
