Police officers from the Slidell Police Department rescued an injured dolphin from a pond this week. It’s believed that Hurricane Ida washed the dolphin into freshwater, about 30 miles northeast of New Orleans.

The Slidell Police Department made a post on Facebook on September 5 showing the effort they and multiple groups and organizations made to rescue the dolphin. [See the post and the rescue video](https://fb.watch/7Sny7mtFZX/).

Some great news, the dolphin was mended and returned to the Gulf of Mexico.
