Dolphins receive credit for saving lost dog - National Dogs | Examiner.com

Marco Island, FL - The story published in today's Naples News is sure to bring a smile. A senior Doberman named Turbo went missing from his yard on Sunday night.

His owner searched the neighborhood, but the 11 yr-old dog was nowhere to be found.

Come to find out, the senior dog had somehow fallen into a canal. Fifteen long hours after he disappeared from his yard, a neighbor was alerted to his presence in the water by dolphins.

The dolphins were splashing in the water - persistently trying to gain someone's attention - someone capable of getting the tired dog out of the water.

The neighbor phoned 911, but before help could arrive - jumped into the water and pulled the tired dog to safety.

According to Turbo's owner, Cindy Burnett, the dog was cold, wet and exhausted when he was recovered. But according to what the neighbor witnessed, Turbo was never alone - the dolphins stayed near him as he waited for help.

Things very well could have ended much differently for Turbo - if not for the help of some caring friends.
