The internet was appreciative of the cow who jumped to the dog's rescue. 

Sir, cow hitting the man who was torturing hapless dog, prove that even cows cannot tolerate bad humans & believe in delivering instant justice & so for their usefulness & empathetic nature these deserve our respect. — Pipalkoti (@Pipalkoti) October 31, 2021
