Give up now, Saddam, even the animals are against you! Who knows, perhaps that Rat in the corner of your bunker is working for the CIA?

I'd be surprised if he didn't have a camera. I can't imagine a scene where Flipper goes and finds a mine and returns to the soldier with clicks and squeals and they have a "Lassy" moment. The soldier says, "What's that boy? Billy's stuck in the well down by Farmer Bob's fence?"
Oops, I just did. :/

I believe the dolphins are posted above the actual mines to just carry radar. So there is really no danger of getting hurt

There are several reports from WW II of downed US aviators, in their small survival rafts, who had to discourage dolphins from attempting to push them ashore to Japanese held islands....
