The seemingly fun-loving, curious dolphin has long fascinated people. These highly intelligent marine mammals are easily trained and are often displayed in shows at aquariums. The fact of their intelligence led the U.S. Navy to develop a program that uses dolphins to do jobs that help keep citizens and soldiers of America safe. Military dolphins have been used to detect underwater mines and enemy swimmers. They also recover equipment deployed by the Navy. Young bilingual readers will be enthralled by this introduction to military dolphins presented in both English and standard Latin American Spanish.
