There are two animals in the world that legit almost everyone loves. Can you guess? Of course you can…
Puppies AND porpoises.
Luckily for you, this story has BOTH. You’re welcome.
Earlier this week in North Whales, a man was taking photos and fishing along the beach, while his pup Leia splashed and moseyed all around. *We’re totally picturing this in our minds and Leia is adorable.
All of a sudden the precious pup began barking excitedly, and of course, trying to alert her human of her very very important find. Leia had stumbled upon a baby harbour porpoise that had stranded on the rocky beach.
The remarkable rescue was posted to YouTube by Criccieth Life. Watch the man and his dog spring into action to save the baby cetacean:
According to the YouTube description, the man commented:
“Whilst attempting Bass fishing on a beach near Criccieth (close to the mouth of the River Dwyfor) I was taking photos of the fantastic scenery when I heard my dog barking at me from further down the beach….clearly she had found something!
Managed to gently lift and guide this beached baby dolphin / juvenile harbour porpoise back out to sea.
Stayed at the site for while after to make sure he didn’t come back. Spoke to the coastguard once I had signal and they reported it to the science team. Think the little guy was lucky as there was nobody around for miles!
And, if it wasn’t for my dog barking at me I would have missed him too!”
You can officially carry on with your day.
