I’m sure many of you remember a TV show that use to come on in the 60′s called Flipper. It was a great television show back then and still would be today if you can find a channel showing it. There has also been a few movies made about Flipper over the years. If you have been on another planet and have never heard about Flipper, you may want to rent one of the movies sometime.

Flipper was the Lassie of the sea and was always saving the day or capturing the bad guys that needed capturing. The collie that would play Lassie on TV had it much easier and Lassie could run around on land, growl and bark to get her point across. The chirping sounds of Flipper wasn’t really that frightening; nor the fact that if you had to get away from Flipper you just needed to hop on a boat or get to land. That’s because Flipper was a dolphin!  A big difference in a dog that rescues people when you compare it to a dolphin rescuing people. Maybe one of the talented TV writers will sit down one day and write up a movie or TV series and have Lassie and Flipper both in it. Now that would be a great combination to see and they could fight trouble by land or sea. It would be like Superman and AquaMan getting together from the Superfriends to rescue everyone and make sure the bad guys got caught.
