It would release the other animal even if there wasn’t the payoff of a reunion with it. Astonishingly, if given access to a small hoard of chocolate chips, the free rat would usually save at least one treat for the captive — which is a lot to expect of a rat.
The researchers came to the unavoidable conclusion that what they were seeing was empathy — and apparently selfless behavior driven by that mental state.

Oh my god I can’t even handle that rat squished into that little plastic box. Look at it all square and pressed up against the glass. I’ve never identified with something so strongly in all my life. I am that rat. Please god let the world save me a chocolate chip.
