An English bulldog named Rotax was among those who stopped what they were doing Sunday to watch a rare close approach by dolphins at New Zealand’s Bucklands Beach.
“A beautiful start to the morning seeing the dolphins at Bucklands Beach boat ramp,” Andrew Hill Adventure Fishing wrote on Facebook.
Hill told FTW Outdoors that public boating is not allowed because of pandemic-related restrictions “and with the lack of activity the fish and dolphins have moved in closer to land.”
Hill added that he was enjoying a walk with his daughter, Ava, and girlfriend, Kristy, when the dolphins appeared. “This is the closest we have seen them to land in a long time. It was pretty special,” Hill said.

Rotax wasn’t sure to make of the situation but appeared to have lost interest in playing fetch with so much attention being paid to the dolphins.
