Incredible footage shows dog playing with his best-friend, a dolphin

A few years ago the BBC show Countryfile captured incredible footage of a dog swimming with a dolphin.

The Labrador, Ben, was known to swim out to the harbour every day to go and meet the dolphin, Duggie, on Tory Island.

The kind folks at Rare Irish Stuff told us that according to residents, when Duggie lost her dolphin mate, she stayed in the area off the Donegal coast where her partner died.

Ben’s owner said at the time of filming: “Occasionally a school of dolphins will go by and she will join them. When I see them I think she will forget the island and go back to her wild ways but she never does.”

The footage was shown circa 2008, so we’re left wondering: Are Ben and Duggie still the best of pals?

More as we get it.
