    <p>Sometimes, all we need is a helping hand.</p>
<p>As Hurricane Harvey victims began returning to their homes, many found unexpected things waiting for them. However, nobody thought they would ever see an animal quite like this.</p>
<p>Samson the longhorn is well-known and beloved by his entire community in Rayford Road in Spring, Texas.</p>
<p>A neighbor named Amanda Sheridan told <a href="https://www.thedodo.com/on-the-farm/steer-rescue-hurricane-harvey" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Dodo</a>, “His owners have had him since he was a calf. He&#8217;s very much loved by them, and everyone in the community. He’s a gentle giant.”</p>
<p>Unfortunately, as the rain poured down, the longhorn sank deeper <a href="https://www.littlethings.com/kabu-elephant-mud-pile/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">into the mud</a> on his property. There was a chance he was going to drown if he remained trapped.</p>
<p>Then, the administrator of Rayford Road&#8217;s community Facebook page, Kaeleigh Jordan, made a post for Samson&#8217;s owner on Facebook that changed everything.</p>
<p>After begging for strangers to come help, something amazing happened.</p>
<p>Keep scrolling to see what happened when people found the Facebook post about Samson!</p>
