Dolphins are intelligent and curious creatures that are often credited with saving people and animals in times of crisis. They are known to be playful, however they can also be protective and unpredictable. There are many legends of Dolphins leading ships through dangerous waters or saving people from predators.

This dolphin rescue involves a small cinnamon-brown burrow that slipped unnoticed into the turbulent waters of a channel located off Marco Island, Florida. When a pod of dolphins discovered the little dog, he must have been nervous to stay afloat.

Dolphins swam to the frightened dog and began to surround him and make a lot of noise. The quarrel aroused the attention of several neighboring people, who walked to the edge of the canal to check what was going on. Fortunately, they noticed that the little dog was helplessly floating in the water, surrounded by Dolphins.

One dolphin was observed urging the exhausted dog with its snout to help keep it on the surface of the water while another dolphin was seen going under the dolphin to help it stay afloat. Dolphins seem to understand what they need to do to keep the dog alive while attracting the attention of those who can help rescue the dog from deep water.

Spectators immediately called the fire department. First responders raced to save the poor little dog from the rising waters that were going to drown him. Firefighters offered first aid and calculated that the poor little animal had been in the water for 15 hours.

The lucky dog clearly owes his life to the dolphin pod that came to his rescue and had a feeling of seeking help. Not to mention the heroic firefighters who went to help.
