That was cool  It was almost like he was a tame dolphin.

How cool is that.  I can not get my dog to stay calm when trying to trim his nails.

I kept waiting for the poor dolphin to run out of breath (or the diver to share his oxygen).

What a cool and wonderful experience..........  

Brings back some interesting memories.  I don't have a video of it but, here's a written description of my own experience that will forever be stuck in my memory banks.

Years ago while back on the ranch.

We had a herd of Black Angus/Brahma cows that we bred to our Santa Gertrudis bull.
Some were pretty rank and wild and Dad's rules were to never enter their pasture area unless on horseback or in a vehicle or the tractor.   One morning during the birthing season (early Spring, it was cold and wet that morning), one of the rankest cows was having a hard time delivering her calf.    Knowing this was a somewhat risky situation, I tied off my trusty steed and tried to help her.    I won't lie about it, I was scared but, something had to be done. She allowed me to help.   The calf was stuck in the birth canal and wasn't coming out as Nature intended.   Only the tips of the hooves or the calf's back legs were barely visible. I waited and watched as long as I thought was prudent hoping she'd get this done all own her own. This combination of breeds produced a very large calf. After what seemed like an eternity, I finally decided I had to do something.  So I reached up into her and pulled with all the might a 14 year old could muster.   Wasn't enough.

Since I didn't have the strength to pull the calf on my own, I went back to my gelding, grabbed the lasso (rope) and then reached back in and looped it around the calf's back legs and tied off to the saddle horn and let the horse gently pull the calf out.    Both cow and heifer calf survived.   I felt wonderful having helped her and from that time forward until Dad sold off that herd, I was the only one that could get near that cow.   The heifer grew and became one of our brood cows until she to was sold.    

Some memories last a life time.

Another great story Ron.

I was amazed at the cooperation of the Dolphin in his rescue, who says that animals don't understand. Thanks OSS good video.

Love the story, Ron. I lived my grandparents for awhile as a young kid. They were farmers all their lives. Those years provide me with some of my favorite memories. I assisted on at least a dozen births in that time, it was always an eye-opener.....loved it.

I've seen a few rescue videos lately, where the animals have approached someone looking for help. Turtles, skates, dolphins and whales. I saw some with deer and a fox caught up in a fence that approached hunters to get cleared up.....amazing.

Two weeks ago, here on the Cape, a fisherman was approached by a whale in Cape Cod Bay. It had the remnants of a fishing net wrapped around a pectoral fin. The whale laid over on it's side and let him get in there with a knife. It took a while but he was able to get it all out.

That would be a life-altering experience for me....

Wow--both good stories.  That dolphin--incredible.  Maybe there is hope for our species.

I guess you could kind of wonder why a whale is coming closer to you. Lunch or maybe dinner LOL.

I was in my boat out in the ocean off Long Island and I saw something in the water. It was a whale and it was easy to make out the white on the underbelly. It was bigger than the boat, my wife at the time was with me and Im looking at this thing pretty close and all of a sudden I hear this knocking. I thought oh dam what is that maybe the motor or something. I look at my wife and it was her knees knocking together she was so scared.  I stayed there a bit and as soon as it dived down I got out of there fast. Pretty awesome to see.

I've been in Cook Inlet, Alaska halibut fishing when the fog rolled in so thick you couldn't see 25'. Then the whales started surfacing around us. More than likely Killer Whales, Humpbacks don't usually come up the Inlet that far. Pretty exhilarating in my opinion. Makes you feel alive ! We just kept fishing, there wasn't much else we could do. Later the fog cleared, the whales left. Then a friggin Sea Lion tried to get our halibut off the back of the boat ! Had to scare him off with some whacks of a boat oar.

I was swimming in FL (Biscayne Bay) years ago, and this giant shape underwater is coming toward me, not real fast but still moving.  So I made like Johnny Weissmuller straight back to the boat, and passed a warning to the other couple we were with, but they were all beered up and just kept floating there.  They didn't see it.  I get up on deck and look down at this 15,000 lb manatee swimming by (and in-between the oblivious floaters) down about 10-12 feet.  Maybe it wasn't 15K, but the thing was HUGE.  I know they are gentle giants, but when I saw nothing but this huge underwater shadow coming at me, I wasn't thinking manatee, but something with teeth looking for an (un)happy meal.  I think I peed a little.
