Dolphins are intelligent, curious mammals that have often been credited with coming to the rescue of humans and animals during times of trouble.
They are known to be fun-loving but also can be protective and unpredictable.
There are many stories about dolphins leading ships out of turbulent waters or defending humans from sharks.
These dolphins verified they’re intelligent and know rescue when they came across a pet dog DROWNING.
An 11-year-old Doberman named Turbo went missing from his home in Marco Island, Florida, his human family searched to find the dog.
The little dog must have fought to stay afloat when it was noticed by a pod of dolphins.
The dolphins swam to the terrified dog and began circling it and making a bunch of noise.
The ruckus captured the attention of some people nearby who went to the canal’s edge to see what was going on. Luckily they saw the little dog desperately floating in the water with the dolphins circling it.
One of the dolphins was seen nudging the exhausted dog with his nose to help keep it on the water’s surface and another dolphin was seen getting under the dolphin to help it stay afloat.
The dolphins seemed to sense what they needed to do to help keep the dog alive and also grab the attention of people who could help rescue the dog from the deep water.
And a rescue was in progress. Firemen raced to the commotion and carried the dog out of the water. He was quite shaken up, but overall he was okay.
If it had not been for these dolphins, the dog most likely would not have survived.
The firefighters determined that the dog had been stuck for nearly 15 hours– that is a very long time to keep swimming, particularly if you are not a sea animal.
