This is the moment two curious golden retrievers took to the water to swim with a school of dolphins off the coast of Scotland.
David Ferrier was walking his dogs Morgan and Riley along the beach at Kilnaughton Bay on Islay when they spotted the dolphins in the water.
For a moment the pets stood in the shallows of the bay with their ears pricked up as they try to work out what the mysterious shapes in the water are. But then, without another moment's pause, the purebreed pair set off into the icy waters around them.
Their owner, Mr Ferrier, 54, eventually calls the pair to stop them getting out of their depth.But then, without another moment's pause, the purebreed pair set off into the icy waters around them.But as they are making their way back to the shore, yet more dolphns can be seen surfacing around them - and the dogs can't resist sticking around for longer.
And every time the dolphins resurface, the dgos swim in their direction to play with them.Mr Ferrier said the pair spent another ten minutes at sea- swimming and playing with the dolphins, before returning to the shore.
He explained: 'We get a lot of wildlife like this in the islands. 'It's a place where the wildlife comes to you. We only went out for a Sunday walk.'
