Johan Gray, South African Motorcyclist, Stops Race To Rescue Calf (VIDEO)

WATCH: Motorcyclist Stops Race To Rescue Calf

A South African motorcyclist stopped in the middle of an endurance race to rescue a calf drowning in a canal.

On October 23, 2011, Johan Gray was racing in the grueling Amageza Gauteng Qualifier, a preliminary race before the 14-day endurance trek that crosses South Africa. But he didn't think twice before stopping to rescue a calf who was being carried away in a canal.

It took Gray five attempts before he could finally hoist the calf out of the water. He then reunited it with its mother and the rest of the herd.
