Locals Rescue Dolphin off Staten Island

Seems as though our dolphin visitors are still circling around the boroughs. Earlier today we received an alert about a "distressed dolphin on S.I. side of bay." Luckily, some animal-loving folks were around to help out, and shortly after we got another alert updating the situation. This one said, "Civilians got the dolphin off the sand bar and the dolphin is headed toward the channel." Aw, way to go civilians! The Coast Guard and Mammal Rescue are staying on alert to make sure the dolphin gets to where s/he needs to go.

Staten Islanders only helped because the dolphin doesn't belong on their turf. "Get outta dis neighbuh-hood, I'm only tellin youse once".
