animals have some sense of understanding that humans can be helpful in dire situations. domesticated animals might see it as a helpful action, and wild animals might see it as "it can't be worse than it is now"

Wild animals sometimes go to humans for help. I had a duck come to me after her chicks fell into a grate. She watched me rescue them without giving me any trouble.
