Today the Department of Awesomely Good Deeds joins this little octopus in thanking filmmaker Pei Yan Heng, who spotted the small cephalopod after it had gotten beached during low tide on beach at Singapore’s Cyrene Reef. Pei filled a plastic cup with water, gently scooped up the stranded octopus, and then carefully returned him to the sea.
It took the creature a little while to recover, after which, instead of swimming away it swam over to Pei, extending a tentacle and placing it on Pei’s shoe, where it remained for a while in apparent gratitude:
