When photographer Wesley White, from Montana, was on a work trip to Belize, he made use of his free time to kayak from his resort in Thatch Caye to a tiny abandoned island to fish on Dec. 2, 2018. However, the fishing trip turned out to be unexpectedly adventurous after he stumbled upon a creature that changed his life forever.
Upon arriving at the small deserted island, White stopped for a moment near some mangroves to get some shade, ready for a panic. As he was admiring the ocean view, he looked over his shoulder and noticed a living thing wagging his tail out of the corner of his eye.
