In addition to being crazily adorable and friendly, dolphins are some of the smartest animals in the animal kingdom, capable of solving complex problems, communicating with each other, and even passing on what they have learned from others.
And it seems that sometimes, they have turned their incredible smarts towards helping humans. Reading a story like this, you can see why so many sailors considered seeing dolphins good luck. I would think they were lucky too, if they were guiding me to safety!
