Dolphin Seeks Out Human Divers for Help

[shipperx]

A distressed and injured bottlenose dolphin in Hawaii sought out divers for help.

As they discovered on the night of Jan. 11, the dolphin had a hook embedded in its mouth and fishing line wrapped around one of its pectoral fins, and it was wound so tightly that it had cut into the creature’s tissue.
Diver and photographer Martina Wing made sure her cameras were rolling when an associate took out a pocket knife and began trying to cut the line away. Amazingly, it did not resist and appeared to be communicating its need for assistance.

This made me teary. I used to not really care about animals; I mean, I didn't want them to die unnecessarily, but I didn't have any emotions invested in their connections with humans. But the more and more I see of them, the more I appreciate how incredibly special they are.

I was fascinated when I saw that on the news this morning.
