Dolphins save woman

An Australian woman says she owes her life to a pod of dolphins after slipping off a cliff and into the sea while trying to rescue her dog.

Karyn Gitsham was walking her two dogs along the beach at Carrickalinga, on South Australia’s Fleurieu Peninsula. Suddenly one of the dogs, a four-year-old Cocker Spaniel, fell into the water and apparently couldn’t swim back. All Karyn remembers is that she too found herself in the water.

“I just remember falling and I’m in the water and the waves were just pounding me up against the rocks and I could see him out there trying to get back in,” she told 7News TV.

She thought she was going to die before the dolphins nudged her and her dog to safety, TASS reports.
