Dolphin Waits For A Cute Doggy Kiss From His Golden Retriever Friend, And Their Photo Goes Viral
Gunner the Golden Retriever met Delta the dolphin nearly eight years ago when someone happened to have a camera ready at the perfect moment to capture their adorable interaction – a kiss between a dog and a dolphin. The heartwarming picture went viral, spreading happiness everywhere. Who would have thought that a dog and a dolphin could become such close buddies?
And if you thought that was cute, imagine the cuteness overload when you see the same dog, Gunner, meeting Delta as a puppy. Now, this dynamic duo has a picture capturing their friendship both from “then” and “now.”
Truly heartwarming – Dog and Dolphin, the best of friends.
Gunner had the unique opportunity to venture where no other Golden Retriever had gone before – the Dolphin Research Center in the Florida Keys. His owner, Marie Blanton, a long-time trainer at the nonprofit, decided to introduce Gunner to the center when he was just eight weeks old.
Despite the unfamiliar surroundings, most puppies would be nervous, but Gunner displayed a remarkable demeanor of being “calm and curious.” Delta, a spirited four-year-old dolphin at that time, also showed a keen interest in Gunner.
Since their initial meeting, Gunner has become a regular visitor to the center with Marie. Over time, these adorable companions have developed their friendship, much like how we humans foster our bonds with one another.
The viral picture of a dog kissing a dolphin captures the heartwarming moment when a seven-year-old Gunner lovingly licks a 10-year-old Delta. The Dolphin Research Center went the extra mile by live-streaming their heartwarming reunion on their Facebook page, allowing people to witness the beautiful bond between these two buddies. Spending an afternoon watching them hang out would undoubtedly be a delightful experience!
As the world fell in love with Gunner and Delta’s friendship, the Dolphin Research Center recognized the appeal and decided to share a perfect ‘throwback Thursday’ picture, showcasing the enduring connection between the two, drawing even more appreciation from the online community.

Indeed, the Dolphin Research Center’s Facebook post showcased the remarkable journey of Gunner and Delta’s friendship by placing pictures of their first meeting alongside their most recent photo. By including the ages of these dog and dolphin friends below the pictures, they highlighted the enduring and strong bond that had developed over time.
Gunner and Delta’s heartwarming friendship can teach us valuable lessons. Their story reminds us of the importance of embracing and loving all of God’s children, regardless of how different they may appear or where they come from. It serves as a beautiful example of unconditional love and acceptance.
The quote you shared, “This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends,” further emphasizes the significance of love and selflessness in our relationships with others. Their friendship is a testament to the power of love and the joy that can come from embracing connections with those who may be different from us.
