Miami-Dade County, Florida – A dolphin that was trapped and in distress was recently helped free by a Miami-Dade Marine Patrol officer.
Last month it happened in the Shorecrest area.
Officer Nelson Silva came across the juvenile dolphin trapped inside a fishing net.
Silva quickly jumped into action, grabbing a knife, and carefully cutting the net to free the dolphin.
The dolphin swam off seemingly unharmed, once freed.
