A courageous mother rescued a shark in distress on a beach. Colleen Dunn spotted the salmon shark struggling in shallow waters at Nehalem Bay State Park in Oregon while walking her dogs. Despite her initial hesitation, she bravely grasped the shark’s tail and guided it to deeper water. Colleen, a nature enthusiast and mother of three, captured the heartwarming moment on her phone.
Recent reports of a fatal shark attack off the coast of Israel added to Colleen’s apprehension, but her compassion for the animal outweighed her fears. She successfully helped the shark reach safety in the ocean, emphasizing the importance of aiding creatures in need.
