Princess, Rescuer-Dog Of Stranded Starfish

Here’s a very heart-warming story: http://www.care2.com/causes/dog-rescues-galaxy-of-stranded-starfish.html

“We knew the tide would be at an all time low and at the hottest time of day so the reef would be extremely exposed,” conservationist Jenny Desmond explains while stroking Princess who is glued to her legs after a hard day’s work. “It was likely the starfish would be unable to move quickly enough to get out of their remaining tiny tide pools and into deeper waters before the sun dried them up. So we went out in a dugout canoe with a sail made of used cloth and started gathering them up as fast as we could.”

And Princess, who loves to have a job, immediately began imitating her human family.

“Princess was enthralled,” Jenny says. “She followed us everywhere as we gathered them, even trying to pick some up herself. Although she is very gentle with other creatures, we decided she might accidentally damage them so we put her on guard duty looking over those we had moved to deeper water. She was extremely  interested in them and had to go see each and every one.”
