Arr! Swashbucklin' sea saviors in Massachusetts set free two jolly dolphins, found marooned in a shallow river off Cape Cod. Yarrr, 'twas a fine rescue indeed!

In a jolly 17th-century pirate language, mateys, I shall regale ye with a tale of daring rescues and noble dolphins! Arrr, in the land of Massachusetts, the marine rescuers didst swoop in to save two stranded dolphins in a shallow river on Cape Cod, aye! The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), a global nonprofit, be tellin' us that these rescuers toiled tirelessly for a whole day to return these beautiful sea creatures to their rightful home, the mighty ocean!

The IFAW received a message at the crack of dawn on Thursday, sayin' that these dolphins were trapped in shallow waters near the Herring River in Wellfleet. With the speed of a cannonball, a group of brave rescuers set forth to assess the dolphins' situation, arrr! And lo and behold, they found two dolphins stranded in the shallows of the river, oh the poor souls!

The volunteers, bless their pirate hearts, stayed put on the scene, keepin' a watchful eye on the dolphins all mornin'. Finally, they caught sight of the dolphins in "the gut" of the river, a treacherous place with muddy flats that even the bravest sailor would struggle to navigate! Alas, attempts to guide the dolphins to deeper waters were in vain, so the rescuers decided to call upon their trusty dolphin rescue vehicles to haul those aquatic creatures out of the water.

As the clock struck four in the afternoon, the rescuers employed the IFAW's one-of-a-kind mobile dolphin rescue vehicle to continue their heroic efforts. Finally, at sunset, they successfully transported the dolphins to Herring Cove Beach in Provincetown, where they released them back into the wild, arrr! Aye, these dolphins had a long and tiring day, but with the tide ebbing away, it was necessary to transport them to deeper waters. The rescuers gave them a thorough examination, treatment, and a bit of tender loving care to recover from their ordeal in the shallows.

The IFAW will keep a close eye on these dolphins in the coming days using satellite tracking tags, making sure they find their way back to the deep, blue sea. So fear not, me hearties, for these brave rescuers have saved the day and the dolphins, ensuring their survival and success in the wild!
