Dolphin Saves Boy From Drowning
dailynews.yahoo.com

MANFREDONIA, Italy (Reuters) - A dolphin saved a
14-year-old boy from drowning in the Adriatic sea on
Monday, pushing him to the surface and helping him to a
nearby boat.

The boy, who could not swim, told Italian news agency
ANSA he fell from the boat as he was sailing with his father in the gulf of
Manfredonia, off the southern Italian coast.

As he was slipping under the water, something pushed him up.

``When I realized it was Filippo, I hung on to him,'' the boy said, referring to the
dolphin.

The mammal carried the boy to the boat and swam away.

The dolphin has lived in the gulf's waters for years, locals say, and has been
dubbed Filippo.
