About this book
Moko the dolphin became a local celebrity at Mahia Beach, delighting swimmers with games of fetch and playful hijinks. In March 2008, two pygmy sperm whales were trapped between a sandbar and the shoreline, and despite people's efforts they couldn't be freed. Moko intervened, leading the whales back to the sea and saving them from danger. This true account shows how one dolphin's quick thinking helped rescue two distressed whales.
