I think it is a little bit of a stretch to say the dolphins were trying to alert people. But whatever makes a good story, I guess.

I love that story. Dolphins seem to have an extra sense that connects them with us. I'm glad the woman paid attention to them and, thus, saved the life of someone's precious pup.

Sweet story!

I had a horse that got my Dad's attention when another horse got trapped in the barn. It was an old cow barn with a feed trough running the length of the barn. On the other side their was a walk way for people to use about 4 ft wide. The horse climbed through the feed trough and got stuck in the walk way. It was too narrow for the horse to turn around so he was just stuck there walking forwards and backwards all day.

My other horse saw my Dad coming to cut grass. He kept nickering at him until my Dad came over and then went into the barn (My Dad was not very observant so this horse must have made a bunch of noise. LOL) My Dad opened the barn door to see what was the matter and there was, Ricky (the other horse) standing there waiting to be freed. The funny thing is I dreamed Ricky was going to do this the night before it actually happened.
