'Leia' the dog saves baby Dolphin on Criccieth Beach 5th July 2015<br /><br />Whilst attempting Bass fishing on a beach near Criccieth (close to the mouth of the River Dwyfor) I was taking photos of the fantastic scenery when I heard my dog barking at me from further down the beach....clearly she had found something!<br /><br />Managed to gently lift and guide this beached baby dolphin / juvenile harbour porpoise back out to sea. <br /><br />Stayed at the site for while after to make sure he didn't come back. Spoke to the coastguard once I had signal and they reported it to the science team. Think the little guy was lucky as there was nobody around for miles! <br /><br />And, if it wasn't for my dog barking at me I would have missed him too!<br /><br />Unfortunately I didn't have a mobile signal to report the sighting there and then but if you do find yourself in a similar scenario and you can call the emergency numbers here: http://www.bdmlr.org.uk/index.php or the coastguard.
