I've always liked dolphins myself!
Glad to find another marine mammal lover. Thanks for the comment.

I would like to work as a dolphin/whale trainer...i love them. The Free Willy Series inspired me....

Evidently...
Keiko was so attached to humans that he actually swam across the ocean to find a group of humans that would care for him. Shows us the dangers of wild animals being captured - they do what is called "imprinting" on humans, rather than becoming attached to members of their own species and learning how to be a good member of their own species. It is indeed sad to see animals like Keiko pass on.

Oh, I never knew he passed away - how sad.
