A dramatic video showing thirty stranded dolphins being rescued by people on a Brazilian beach emerged as an internet hit this week. 

In the footage, locals and tourists are seen helping a pod of thirty dolphns swim back to sea after they got caught in the area's strong current and became beached. 

The video, which received more than eight-hundred thousand views since being published on March 5, shows dozens of people entering the sea and dragging the struggling mammals by their tails back into deeper water.
