Dolphin Rescued From Point Dume

MALIBU, CA — Los Angeles County lifeguards rescued a right whale dolphin near Point Dume Tuesday afternoon.

The injured dolphin came ashore on a rocky stretch of the beach Tuesday afternoon, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department, Lifeguard Division. The lifeguards removed the dolphin and transferred it to the Marine Wildlife Rescue where it will be treated.

"Sending our best wishes for a speedy recovery!" the LA County Fire Department, Lifeguard Division said in an Instagram post.

Many people have taken to social media to check up on the dolphin and thank the lifeguards for saving it.

This isn't Malibu's only animal rescue in recent months. LA County lifeguards rescued a dog from Zuma Beach on Jan. 24. The dog was found about 600 yards from the shore, the lifeguards said. Lifeguards put the dog on a rescue sled and brought it back to its owner. The adorable reunion was caught on video and posted to the lifeguards' Instagram.
