ABOUT THE BOOK:
People who have faced death often speak of their lives flashing before their
eyes.  Something much different happened to dolphin trainer Richard O'Barry
when one of the dolphins that played Flipper on television died of stress in
his arms.  He realized that most of his career as an animal trainer has been
a mistake and that dolphins have as much right to freedom as humans.  He
vowed not to rest until he freed every last dolphin that could be returned to
the wild successfully.

This is a true story that will move not only animal lovers but everyone who
loves a well-told tale.  Ric O'Barry has everything from money to flashy
cars, but it wasn't enough to keep his conscience at bay.  He began to
understand that dolphins were easy to train because of their great
intelligence, not his great talent, and keeping them in captivity was cruel
and morally wrong.  While research and entertainment are important to human
life, they are not worth the cost of these beautiful and gentle mammals.

O'Barry was arrested trying to free a dolphin, but that didn't stop him, and
he now devotes his life to untraining dolphins and returning them to their
natural habitats.  Once the pride of the billion-dollar dolphin captivity
industry, he has since become its nemesis.
