It turned out that a small baby dolphin had been swept onto shore. The poor thing was helpless and unable to get back into the ocean.
It was obvious that the dolphin needed help right away. So, Rich lifted the little dolphin and pushed it back into the water. He and Leia then stuck around for about an hour more, just to make sure it did not get swept up again.
Rich managed to capture the exciting events on video, which you can watch below:
Leia is one clever girl to notice the poor dolphin, and for acting so quickly. Without her watchful eye that dolphin would have probably not made it. Please share to pay tribute to wonderful brave dogs like Leia!
