Default Dolphins And Animal Assisted Therapy


Some scientists who work with dolphins believe that these sea-dwellers
show a sense to the disability and physical trauma associated with
function and pain in humans, therefore making the cranio-sacral
therapy possible. Dolphins, with their internal sonar or echo-location
can feel where the person hurts the most and are able to gently nudge
and play without hurting the person.
Once, two dolphins saved a writer while he was swimming far off the
coast of California. The man was a good swimmer and swimming had
become his daily routine. One day, far away from the shore, he felt
very tired, too tired to lift his arms or kick. Suddenly, two dolphins
came to his rescue. They swam with their bodies touching him and they
propelled him forward by fastening their nose under his arms to keep
him afloat, until they came close to the shore where there were other
people. By this time, the writer had regained enough strength to swim
a few more yards to safety. He says the dolphins didn't leave
immediately. They kept leaping off shore to make sure he made it to
land safely....
