The trust from a wild animal, its a beautiful thing. Poor baby.

when my dad worked up in Alaska, a raven stumbled into the kitchen where he worked, in obvious distress from a porcupine quill through its beak, and it looked right at my dad with a stare that said "HELP ME!" so it let my dad grab it, put it on a table, then take a pair of pliars and pull the quill out directionally while it squawked up a storm, that hadda hurt. then it from that moment on became dad's pet raven, it hung around him like a dog.

Both dolphins and ravens are very intelligent animals

That was a very touching video. The dolphin is now back with his family. I also like the story about the raven as well. :O)

I love this video...I was so impressed with how trusting and willing to stay still the dolphin was. I sure hope they found a way to safely remove the fishhook from the dolphin's pectoral fin, though.

Dolphins and ravens are two of my favorite animals. :D
