Dolphins save Doberman Pinscher stranded on sandbar
My Fox Orlando ^ | 3/2/2011 | Newscore

Posted on 03/02/2011 1:31:37 PM PST by Evil Slayer

A Pennsylvania woman on vacation in Florida took a tip from two dolphins to save a lost Doberman Pinscher that got stranded on a sandbar.

When Audrey D'Alessandro and her husband, Sam, walked out of their home on Marco Island, near Naples, Fla., to go fishing, "we saw these two dolphins, and they were splashing and making this big commotion" in a canal behind their vacation home, she said.

Although it is not uncommon to see dolphins swimming through the canal on their way to the Gulf of Mexico, Audrey D'Alessandro said that this time, "they were just there, in one place, splashing water against the canal wall."

Dolphins are people too. Most humans don't want to admit that.

Yeah. Right. And dolphins admonish other dolphins: "People are dolphins, too! Most dolphins don't want to admit that."

Dogs are dogs.
Dolphins are dolphins.
People are people.
Goofy people consider dogs and dolphins "people, too."
Cats, on the other hand, are above it all. :^)

While I don't believe that they are people, I would put them a notch or two up the food chain from liberals!

“Patting” a strange dog on the head is dominance behavior in dog body language.

You should *always* pet a strange dog -under- the jaw while maintaining a -parallel- body position to it.

It’s non-threatening/non-challenging physical communication with the dog.

[the *best* scenario is to not stare at a strange dog and wait for it to make a friendly overture, first]

His human was an idiot.

I’m very sorry you got bit.

Most Dobermanns are smarter than their owners.

As they left, one of the dolphins was heard to say “Good by and thanks for all the fish”

Sent to the Cornfield.

Rode the lightning.

Pining for the fjords.

Joined the choir, invisible.

Feel free to add your own euphemism.

:(
