Rich Wilcock was photographing the beach at Gwynedd, Wales. He was accompanied by Leia, his Cocker Spaniel. Leia kept on barking at and nudging Wilcock, drawing his attention to a spot on the beach. There, Leia had found a beached baby dolphin. The Daily Post quotes Wilcock:
“At first I thought it was a baby shark, it was only about one and half foot but on a closer inspection I could see the blow hole on top of his head and realised it was a dolphin.
“There was nobody around for miles so I did what I could as gently as possible. I lifted him gently under the belly and popped him back amongst the waves and he swam away into deeper water.
The video above shows the entire rescue.
