I know, it's been a few weeks since we've featured a hero dog in this space. Well, consider the dog-heroics drought to be over. Although, to be fair, the human companion of this dog really did the lion's share of the work here. The dog gets credit for the discovery, the human can take some credit for saving a baby dolphin's life.

In a nutshell, the man and his dog were out for a walk on Criccieth Beach in Wales. Alerted by his dog's insistent barking, the man went to see what his dog had found, and came upon a baby dolphin struggling at the shoreline.

Quoting the as-yet unidentified man (from Sunnyskyz.com):

"I stayed at the site for while after to make sure he didn't come back," he shared on YouTube. "I spoke to the coastguard once I had signal and they reported it to the science team. I 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!"
