Golden retriever in Alabama’s Ocean Beach spooks manatees: Video
“Oh my gosh!” shouted Sage Taylor, as she noticed the water surrounding her golden retriever Flip erupt right into a splashing frenzy Monday.
A couple of minutes prior, Taylor and Flip had seen a herd of about 8-10 manatees swimming within the waters off of Ocean Seaside, Alabama. Nonetheless, observing the marine mammals from afar wasn’t sufficient for Flip.
“She wished to get just a little extra motion, so she went within the water and scared all of them,” Taylor instructed FOX 10 in Cell, Alabama.
In a video recorded by Taylor, Flip might be seen gently paddling towards the herd, which have been swimming simply beneath the water’s floor. As Flip drew nearer the aggregation of marine mammals, the calm blue waters across the golden retriever erupted right into a splashing frenzy of startled manatees. Flip instantly rotated and made a beeline again towards the seaside.
She was “very shaken up,” Taylor instructed FOX 10.
The expertise didn’t appear to reduce Flip’s love of the water, nonetheless. Taylor mentioned the golden retriever was again within the ocean the very subsequent day.
