Volunteers rush to save a beached whale

A male Pilot whale beached itself at Rainbow Haven Beach in Nova  Scotia. The word went out and a hundred volunteers showed up to rescue the whale.

It is amazing how they were able to get him back into the water. It is bitter cold right now so they were a determined group of people.

Once he was in the water it took the work of a paddle boarder to get him to head out to deeper water.

It took the work of many people, but it looks like the rescue was a success. 

It is a good thing they found him in time. Much longer on the beach and he could have frozen to death.

What a good team effort! I love to hear of a bunch of people getting together to help an animal like this.

It was an amazing rescue. It was even more impressive when you think how spontaneous it was and how very cold it was.

People can be so good sometimes.
