The Yorkshire Vet: Sandy was signed, seal, and delivered - Julian Norton
After my session with the Marine Mammal Rescuers a few months ago, I was keen to keep in touch and follow the progress of any marine mammals in need of help. At least now I had the basic training, I would be able to offer some assistance if required. I didn’t have to wait too long. Last time, during training, I was dealing with a plastic dolphin, partly filled with sand and seawater to match the buoyancy of a real dolphin, and a seal made of sturdy rubber. This time, the stakes were much higher as I was summoned to Scarborough to assist with (or more realistically, to observe) the release of Sandy back to the sea.
