This is the story of a clever and quick-witted dog who rescued a newborn dolphin’s life and rushed to help when it was needed.
The brave springer spaniel Laia attracted attention to the dolphin, which had been thrown onto the seashore by the current and barked, directing the owner to that location.
Tom, an amateur photographer, was walking along the beach in Crlxlet, Wales, with his dog Leah when the typically peaceful dog began barking and attempting to get his owner’s attention.
He followed the dog and discovered a newborn dolphin washed up on the beach by the tide.
Later, the man revealed that he had meant to photograph the very gorgeous seascapes that day, but Laia kept getting in the way, barking and smelling a dolphin a kilometer away.
Tom initially mistook it for a young shark, but upon closer investigation, he realized it was a dolphin. Thanks to the efforts of the dog and Tom , he was returned to deep waters, after which he and the dog stayed on the shore for another hour to make sure everything was okay with the dolphin.
