The handlers of the five dolphins at work in the Iraqi port of Umm Qasr confirmed yesterday that one of their charges, a male named Tacoma, did disappear when put in the water to go to work.
"Two days later we found him in the same spot where we put him in the water," said Lieutenant Robert Greene, the officer in charge of the M-7 series of mine-clearing dolphins.
Tacoma was yesterday resting in his holding pool with the Navy's oldest dolphin, 33-year-old Makay.

Oh, thank goodness. My heart was aching for his trainer. I just knew he felt like I would feel if one of my beloved Belgian Malinios went missing.
I am so glad Tacoma is back, safe and sound!

"Two days later we found him in the same spot where we put him in the water," said Lieutenant Robert Greene, the officer in charge of the M-7 series of mine-clearing dolphins. Tacoma was yesterday resting [nursing a hangover] in his holding pool with the Navy's oldest dolphin, 33-year-old Makay.
Glad he is back safe.
