Surprise!

Dean Harrison and two of his friends were fishing on his open-top boat along the far north coast of New Zealand’s North Island on Feb. 28 when a 900-pound bottlenose dolphin crashed onto the 16-foot vessel, the Associated Press reported. “This one decided to jump on board and say hello,” Harrison said. While they motored toward help, they kept the dolphin wet with a hose and a towel. At the ramp, members of the Maori tribe prayed for the dolphin, which they named Tohu, which means “sign.” Harrison renamed his boat Tohu.
