Monday August 28 1:32 PM ET 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.

Police Find Human Head Inside Giant Cod Updated 11:24 AM ET August 29, 2000 BRISBANE, Australia (Reuters) - Workers at an Australian fish wholesaler were shocked to find a human head inside a giant cod they were preparing for sale, police say. Police in Cairns in the far north of Queensland state said the 97-pound flowery cod was caught by a fishing trawler off Townsville at the weekend and had been delivered to the seafood wholesaler before sale to the public. "On preparing the fish they observed the remains inside and contacted police," detective sergeant David Miles told reporters Tuesday. "It was fairly big and the head appeared to be fairly much intact inside it," he said. Forensic tests were being carried out on the head as police attempted to identify the remains. Local media suggested the head could have belonged to a trawler fisherman missing after falling overboard about 31 miles off Townsville early Sunday. Police said a search for the fisherman, 39-year-old Michael Edwards of Cairns, was called off after the discovery of the head inside the 5.2-foot fish. It was hoped forensic tests would help determine how the head was severed.
