BACOLOD CITY -- Disaster brings out the best in people, and animals.
A dolphin tried to save a distressed fisherman last Monday after his boat sank in heavy weather, fellow fisherman Roberto Caratao told reporters in Cadiz City.
Caratao said he saw an adult-sized dolphin pushing and trying to carry Joseph Cesduyro.
Cesduyro, a 34-year-old fisherman from Cebu and a crewmember of the F/B Nicole Louise 2, and the dolphin were still breathing when they reached the shore on Burias Island.
But both died a few minutes later and were buried on the island, Caratao said.
The body of Cesduyro was later brought to Cadiz City, and was claimed by his father. Carla P. Gomez
