Good morning Team 1
Below is a beautiful real-life video about a dolphin which got washed up on a shore in Ireland.
It’s incredibly dangerous for dolphins and whales to get stuck on beaches as it can lead to their deaths.
Thankfully, a group of people who were walking along the beach noticed this distressed dolphin.
These kind-heated individuals went over and tried to help push the dolphin back out to sea. Even their dog Brandy joined in by using his nose to nudge the dolphin back out to sea.
However, the waves kept pushing the dolphin back inland. Watch the video to see how these caring people solved this problem and saved the dolphin.
