or so hours. While a ladyby the name of Linda Grucock from Digby,
Nova Scotia saw something a little unusualoff the coast as she was running
errands, over a dozen Atlantic whitesided dolphins had become beached. Knowing the

dolphins had limited time, she didnot ignore this and she called the Halifax
based Marine Animal Response Society acronym MARS. Linda also alerted her friends and neighbors
on social media, and when MARSpersonnel realized they were too far away to
get to the dolphins in time,they reached out to the Digby Volunteer Fire
Department and soon about forty folks arrivedalong the coast, carefully moving the dolphins

Linda and her community spirit, allthe dolphins were saved, making it a
