The Italian firefighter heard the kitten crying after it accidentally fell downa hole on a road. The man immediately pulled the animal out of the hole and the moment felt so overwhelming to him that he broke down in tears, while his colleagues consoled him.
Social media users loved the clip and praised the man for showing his emotions so openly.
"People should be free to cry whenever they feel so moved. I love that the other firefighters just hugged the tearful rescuer," a Twitter user said.
"Love anyone who loves animals, especially if they aren't afraid to show their emotions for animals," another person said.
Women on here throwing themselves at this guy because of his sensitivity, meanwhile I will weep uncontrollably at the drop of a hat and haven’t had a date in years. Maybe if I learned Italian...
