Many scientists and animal advocates recognize the dolphins as one of the smartest in the animal kingdom. This fact gets proven again when two dolphins from Marco Island, Florida reminded everyone how compassionate they could become for humans or even other animals.
The dolphin duo came across a distressed dog named Turbo, trapped in a canal. The 11-year-old Doberman Pinscher fell into the waters after escaping her owner’s house 15 hours earlier. The dog’s owner named Cindy Burnett narrated that her pet escaped on a Sunday night after they accidentally left the gate open.
Cindy tried to find the dog by driving through the street for about five to six times and call him via his name, but the dog never showed up. No one realized that the animal fell into a canal nearby. Luckily, the dolphins noticed the dog and decided to call attention by splashing the water persistently that caught the neighbors attention half a mile away from where the dog fell.
An elderly couple on holiday heard the dolphins’ noise as they prepare to go fishing. They noted that the two dolphins kept on splashing and making commotions that it made them curious to investigate the cause. When they came near the canal, they saw the exhausted Turbo treading continuously. The pooch cannot climb up the canal walls as they were too high for him, and it has no strength left to even bark for himself.
The shocked couple called the authorities to help rescue the animal, and thankfully, they arrived not long after. They succeeded in pulling Turbo out of the water, and his owner had a great relief that the firefighters acted before it’s too late. The dog suffered no significant injuries other than the distress and the shivering due to cold.
The worn out dog owes his recovery to the pod of Floridian dolphins who managed to find him and call for attention leading to his rescue. It’s heartwarming to know that animals like the hero dolphins can show great compassion for the needy and helpless beings.
