After admiring the killer whales off the coast of Aberdeen, Scotland, lovers Lorraine Calloch and Mike Roberts went home, but the navigator laid the wrong route. Driving past the shallow coast, the woman noticed a dolphin.
Lorraine and Mike went straight to the dolphin
The woman determined that it was a female dolphin
The animal was immediately covered with wet towels
The couple quickly called the police, rescuers, and specialists from the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to help
But despite all the efficiency of the group, rescuers had to wait another half a day for the flood tide to return the female dolphin to the sea.
Rescuers were with the animal for 10 hours
In the predawn hours, the flood tide began, and the animal was able to return to deep waters.
The dolphin quickly regained her strength, and she swam away from her rescuers
