We found "Sammy" the salmon shark washed up exhausted on Chesterman Beach in Tofino, BC. Even the surfers couldn't get him out past the pounding tide. So we decided that he would unlikely live, so we picked him up and put him in our trunk and drove 5 minutes over to the inlet side of Tofino, and revived him over by the crab docks. And sure enough, he survived, and made his way back to the ocean. Good Luck Sammy!! October 16th 2009

  • I always thought that sharks can drown when pulled backwards because water get inside their gills.

  • Aww I didn't think it was gonna make but im Soooo happy it did! GO SAMMY THE SALMON SHARK :D

  • Great job I don't know that many people that would have tried to save a shark. 1 to many of them seem to think that they are all man eaters (at least the people I know)

  • Salmon Sharks are the dumbest of the sharks it seems, since they are always getting beached.

  • That's my Dog that almost got his nose nipped off! Nice to see the positive end to the saga GOOD ONE. One of the surfers was from Jasper both from Alberta.

    Funny what you find on Youtube!

  • Tofino Surfers... teaching one shark to surf everyday. :D

  • right on that was super awesome to watch. coming from a bay area surfer it can be pretty hard gettin back out to sea, im just glad you guys managed to at least save him.
