Mix well and enjoy the happy ending.

A young dolphin wandered off its usual path and ended up in a creek in Clearwater, Florida.

Biologists withClearwater Marine Aquariumhad been monitoring the animal since Jan. 1.

It appeared reluctant to return to open waters via a small opening under a bridge.

“Since monitoring began, the dolphin had not left the creek,“the aquarium saidlast week.

Watch the effort unfold:

It’s not easy to pull off a human chain in a creek.

The biologists celebrated the dolphin’s arrival on the other side.

The wandering dolphin stands a good chance back out in the wild.
