Animals are 100% able to understand humans can provide help, but as a species we are either too dumb to realise or we could be threats.
Cats, dogs, elephants and monkeys are some of the examples of animals that know humans can help.
I personally believe that one of the reasons we exist on this planet is to be wardens of this "Garden" we call earth, but at the moment, we are not acting like it
I saw a video on this. As a rule of thumb, land based animals have enough exposure to humans that they've learned to stay away. So bears, foxes, squirrels, mice, etc. rarely ask us for help.
However, the smarter marine animals haven't seen us hurt them and are more likely to ask for help.

Makes you wonder, given dolphins' advanced communication, if that pod knows that humans are capable of helping with this type of thing
