If one sees a donkey collapsed under it's heavy load, it's a Mitzva to help the donkey-driver unload the animal.
Even if the load was excessive it's a Mitzva to help.
Unloading the animal must be done without asking for remuneration.
If - after reloading the donkey - it again collapses, it's a Mitzva to help unload again, and again.
Applies to everybody, everywhere, always
Verse: "When you see your fellow man's donkey collapsing under its load... you shall surely help him" (Shmot 23:5)
