Dolphin Tales: Co-owner of restaurant spearheads dolphin rescue (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was a typical day in September for John Lynch, co-owner of Blue Dog Bar & Grill in Matlacha. In fact, it was his birthday. His birthday tradition is to head out early in the morning for a little fishing and reflection. This birthday brought an unexpected blessing in disguise.
