What the flip?!? Of all the forms of therapy available to us, why isn’t this the one and only one? Would we even need anything else? What is better than getting to swim with a laughing chirping dolphin? I ask you, what the flip?!?
They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning, No one you see, is smarter than he. And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder, Flying there-under, under the sea!
We have therapy dolphins. Oh yes.
They exist…
My first thought was, “I want one”.
Oh yes. It would be my emotional support animal.
I would totally get an emotional support dolphin and yes, I’m bringing it to work as well. Whenever someone pisses me off or rubs me the wrong way, I run to my emotional support dolphin 🐬 who’s always happy to see me and lend me a helping flipper. Hey, it beats the violent alternative. I’m just trying to save my coworker’s lives here.
I’m all about solutions.

In all reality, the effectiveness of dolphin therapy is dubious at best. It seems nothing more than a cynical cash grab than anything else. Also, it gets people to spend thousands of dollars for an experience that could have been better spent getting actual help from actual professionals.
What’s the difference between this and a regular dolphin petting zoo? These three words: DAT.
Dolphin Assisted Therapy.
Literally.
Let’s say that the average price to go swimming with the dolphins is anywhere between three hundred to five hundred and fifty. DAT will run you four thousand to six thousand seven hundred and eighty dollars.
Those three words magically “raise the value” of the dolphin petting experience by hundreds of dollars.
