This is the moment a kindhearted man rescues a fox with its head stuck inside a milk carton that was frantically running around in circles.
Eduardo Lito Nunez, a Chilean lorry driver who was travelling to Punta Arenas in southern Argentina, filmed the incident and shared it on Facebook where it has been viewed two million times.

The lorry driver decided to stop for a rest when he spotted something brightly-coloured in the distance.
He told local media: “I climbed to the top of my lorry and I noticed a tail. It was very far away and I thought it was tied as it was walking in circles.”
When he went nearer he realised it was a fox that had its head stuck inside a milk carton.
Nunez went back to his cab to get his phone and a pair of gloves and filmed the rescue.
After needing close to two minutes to free the animal, he says in the footage: “Look at this. It is free, we removed it. We did our good deed of the day!”
The driver said that the rubbish bins in the area are typically full and many animals rummage through them looking for food.
Netizen ‘Jorge Dibuk’ said: “This man is a very good person. He saved the fox’s life!”
‘Raquel Patricia Gonzalez’ commented: “The fox knew that he was helping and did not attack him, what a nice man!”
‘Enrique Meneces’ said: “We need many millions of human beings like this guy!”
