Although he had done the same operation on approximately 1000 patients previously he had never done the delicate surgery in a dolphin.

The makers of the Academy Award winning documentary The Cove got Aniston and several other celebs motivated to become Dolphin Crusaders. Hayden Panettiere, Jason Mraz, Woody Harrelson, Naomi Watts, James Gandolfini, Ben Stiller, and Paul Rudd all banded together to create this new PSA in an effort to save the dolphins, brought to you by TMZ’s TooFab!, below.

(As for taking better photos of him swimming—I’d need a camera like this, and hope it can withstand sand, surf, and salt water!)

However, in a new report, titled ‘Can you put your faith in DAT?’, WDCS has uncovered the shocking truth behind the rapidly expanding DAT industry. In a move supported by health charity Research Autism, WDCS has called for a total ban on DAT after researching the therapy and discovering that: · There is no scie...

He grabbed his blue backpack, iPod, headphones, bucket of favorite photos, and blankets, sat himself down in the backseat of the black car, and shut the door. Jim had to return the bike he had rented and go to the realtor; I was doing laundry, vacuuming, wiping away fingerprints, and discovering small items that had not been packed. Leaving the ocean always feels like—excuse the analogy—-having a bodily organ removed, without anesthesia, Charlie is so at home there. Two years ago, Charlie got upset three days before we actually left the beach house. We had told him that my parents, Gong Gong and Po Po (Cantonese for maternal grandfather and grandmother) were coming after we got back home...

The ocean is no swimming pool, but a living creature, changeable, wild, and mightier than us all. And I rather suspect that, while Charlie loves best to swim in rough and foaming waves that swirl him around and buzz over his head, he has little sense of the danger involved. Charlie loves to be amid the ocean’s power, but he does not realize what that power can do—earlier this summer, a boy about Charlie’s age drowned in a rip current at another beach in New Jersey. That boy was swimming at 7pm, after...

What would the implications for a heart attack be in dolphins you ask? Possible risk factors for the problem are similar to those of humans: genetics, infections, viruses or circulatory problems. After all, we are all mammals. And to be 24… that is like us being 85 years old.

It is not for nothing I once called him The Kingfish on seeing him execute backwards and frontwards flips in the deep end, and sink oh so slowly to the bottom and let himself float leisurely back up to the surface, limbs loose as a rag doll’s. I have written before of the ocean as Charlie’s natural element and, more recently, reflected on the water and the pool as the particular place for inclusion for Charlie: In the water, his swimming skills are as good as those...
