Gunner – The Golden Retriever first met his dolphin friend Delta when he was 8 weeks old at the Florida Dolphin Research Center. Unlike other hyperactive dogs, Gunner does not run and jump, but just lay still and watched the dolphins swim. Attracted by Gunner’s calm demeanor, Delta, a friendly dolphin, immediately approached and even brought a toy to play with Gunner. To Delta’s goodwill, Gunner was quick to reciprocate and learned to play with his dolphin friend by grabbing the toys it was given.
Marie Blanton said: “The first time I brought Gunner to the port I thought he would bark loudly or show excitement when he met the dolphins but he did the opposite. Lie down and watch and was extremely calm. This is what attracted me. get Delta’s attention.” Since that first meeting, each time Marie Blanton brought Gunner, the dolphin Delta would immediately appear at the dock with her toys. The two animals began to rejoice and play together.

To this day, when Gunner is 8 years old and Delta is 12 years old, that friendship remains strong even though they do not see each other often. Ms. Marie Blanton insists the pair always recognize each other immediately and Delta is always the first dolphin to greet Gunner.
