The most beautiful thing about this video is how clearly the dolphin asks the diver for help.

Diver Keller Laros was taking a night dive with Manta Rays and a dolphin swam up with a fishing line stuck in his side. The dolphin was so calm, and the communication between he and the diver so clear. The dolphin even seems to be affectionate with the man, gently rolling towards him the way my dog will do in place of a hug.

This video depicts so beautifully how kindness is a universal language, regardless of species:
