A Dolphin named 'Winter'
A dolphin named, 'Winter', was rescued several years ago and is being cared for by members and volunteers at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Clearwater, Florida. When I saw her a few years ago, I found her energy to be truly heartwarming and have included some pictures below.
Her amazing story of survival is affecting people around the world and bringing new hope and inspiration to those
who have had to overcome tragedies and hardships in their lives.
As I'm sure you know by now, Dolphin Tale 2 (Winter's second movie), was released in September 2014 starring
the amazing Winter, along with her new friend, Hope, and old friends, Nathan Gamble (as Sawyer) and Cozi
Zuehlsdorff (as Hazel). The rest of the talented cast includes Harry Connick, Jr., Ashley Judd, and the
incomparable Morgan Freeman. Winter and Hope have provided hope to people around the world, especially
to children, relaying the message that anything can be overcome and it's ok to be different. Just think what a
loving service they are providing.
What's also wonderful is that with each movie release, interest in the Clearwater Marine Aquarium increases
via attendance and donations to this incredible nonprofit devoted to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing
our 'healed' marine friends back into their natural environment.
I took my family to see Winter and friends before they became BIG Movie Stars several years ago and took these
pictures.
