Eight minutes I’ll never get back. They never do get the hook out; nothing happens. Dolphin swims lazily around and humans overinterpret and congratulate themselves.

Wow! Great video!

Pity they couldn't remove the hook but at least the dolphin could now move properly.Hopefully the hook will not cause any further harm and will not shorten his life at all.

Very cool and who would not have done the same? Sadly, they may have committed a federal crime in the process. They may regret posting the video. With the current mindset in the Fish and Wildlife Service, no good deed goes unpunished if it reaches a certain level of public attention.

You know if dolphins were as smart as liberals say they are... He would have went to the local fish infirmary to get the hook out...

Me thinks this is way over interpretated....dolphins are mammals after all and very intelligent, have large brains... Probaly are smarter than some liberals

I am sure this dolphin has seen humans before diving...and “thought” we could help...
