A diver didn’t understand what the dolphin wanted until it grabbed his hand.

A grateful animal

As soon as the fishing net was cut off, the animal danced around with joy. It celebrated its freedom by taking a couple of leaps out of the water and entertaining a satisfied Rob. During its dance, Rob noticed that the net had stayed on for quite a while and had left a mark on its skin, just under the fin. The excited animal was too happy to notice its fishnet-acquired mark and swarm away to join a partner that stayed by its side all through its ordeal. This sparked a feeling of emptiness in Rob. He had been here before but unlike the lucky dolphin, he had no one by his side.
