Dog Treat Question

[Senegoid]

BTW, I just noticed that the OP is none other than dolphinboy himself!

Didn’t we see, from some earlier thread, that dolphinboy has also some history in working with dolphins? Or am I imagining that?

ETA: Yes, I knew it!

@dolphinboy

I trained bottle-nosed dolphins for many years in captivity and never saw them lift a flipper to help a human being… but I wouldn’t really expect them to. They’re in captivity.

I have seen dolphins be quite aggressive towards humans in the water, especially a belligerent male looking for a mate.

Do wild dolphins actively try to help swimmers in trouble? I’ve heard those stories too, but I’ve never spoken to anyone who has witnessed it.
