MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – A rescue on the water was caught on camera.
A Miami-Dade Marine Patrol officer recently helped free a dolphin that was trapped and in distress.

Officer Nelson Silva came across the juvenile dolphin trapped inside a fishing net.
He quickly jumped into action, grabbing a knife, and carefully cutting the net to free the dolphin.
Once freed, the dolphin swam off seemingly unharmed.
