Blue collar workers have earned the reputation of being on the tough side. That said, people are often much more complex than that. This can be seen in the way many of these workers go out of their way to help others. A particularly sweet example comes from a guy named Ethan. On social media, he shared the story of the time him and his coworkers discovered a tiny, muddy kitten.

It was clear this helpless creature desperately needed their help. So, they stopped what they were doing in order to figure out what they could and should do. First, one of them gently cleaned the kitten as best they could. With so much mud coated onto their fur, getting them entirely clean could not have been easy. Still, they stay determined.

For a minute there, this sweet kitten is concerningly quiet. But soon enough, they start making the sweetest little noises. This seems to coincide with the worker clearing mud out of their eyes, allowing them to see better.

“We are all ‘big tough blue collar guys'” Ethan notes in the caption of his video, “…. Until a baby needs help.”
