Dolphin saves surfer from shark attack
Surfer David Rastovich describes a how a dolphin saved him from a shark attack. “I was sitting in the water, when all of a sudden I saw a dolphin next to me that was behaving unusually hectic. From the top I saw how the dolphin came flying and hit a shark hard in the side. I myself hadn’t even seen the shark before," he recalled.

Man will never be superior to anything have u ever figured that animals don't kill...well ok maybes lions and tigers due to territorial disputes, insects due to killer bees and ants that's it other than food.At least they don't rape and murder the innocent. Who's to say that animals don't have the same mentality as man. U could be a dolphin swimming for fish u see this poor supposibly defensless animal thing that u see in those big floating things boats, so to be good and sense u don't to see.... More
You guys are missing the point. There does not need to be a comparison between humans and dolphins/animals in general. The inspiring and touching part of this story is to realize that there are animals out there who have the capacity to love and help other animals...similar to how humans also have the capacity. Not many other animals do that, and to hear about an animal saving a human from another animal in its own environment is pretty extraordinary.
Thank you, Clare, for reminding us how precious our fellow animals are. I hope your have thousands of visits to this site. I'm also learning through poems-for-the-soul.ch just how vast your personal store of knowledge is!
Dolphins are the angels of ocean!!!....
i love animals, and thought these stories were great - but diane: you think other animals are superior? even if these stories were entirely true, i think it is safe to say humans are far more compassionate as a whole seeing as we not only have countless charities towards our own benefit but also ones that help save animals and plants. whether or not you creationists want to hear this, we're animals and we came from them. whatever traits such as compassion and intellect that are found in us....

you really think we are superior to animals?
-if it wasn't for us millions of other species wouldn't be extinct
-we cause more pollution because of our greed (needing the best clothes)
-animals don't over breed naturally
-we need to use 11 million trees a year in ALBERTA alone
-most of us think of environment problems as a lie
-we think animals don't matter (kids exploded cat in microwave, only got 5 weeks of community service, person murders someone, life time in.... More
Anonymous If u can see this... I agree completely, their r plenty of animals that r smarter and more humane than man. Its true man made electronics, and highways and guns but our superiority makes us weak because man like other territorial animals fight which lead to war and death. And for what...all in the name of superiority. I sware squirrels are smarter than some men. And then if an animal saves a man they either...
a. Brush it off
Or preferably
B. Think of that animal as.... More
Doesn't change the fact that we are superior to animals in every way. Our greed is because we prioritize humans above other animals as it should be. Unless your not part of the majority that enjoys a middle-class lifestyle you shouldn't criticize humans.
right, the middle class transcends criticism because it's so amazing
What amazes me is that everyone is so keen to interpret animal behaviour as something so special and superior to humans. Diane tries to preempt any reply by saying that anyone who disagrees lacks intellect and compassion - nice one Diane!
There is nothing wrong with finding these acts amazing, whilst also accepting that they are normal instinctive animal behaviour. Some of the stories ("mama baby"!!) sound like they have grown a little with retelling, but just about everything here.... More
It is clear to me that other animals who are so often abused by the human animal are often superior. Many have intellect, and compassion. and all empirical evidence is dismissed by those who lack both.
i completely agree.
