Behind the Dolphin Smile is the heart-felt true story of an animal
lover who dedicated his life to studying and training dolphins, but in
the process discovered that he ultimately needed to set them free. Ric
O’Barry shares his journey with dolphins and other sea mammals in this
captivating autobiographical look back at his years as a dolphin trainer
for aquatic theme parks, movies, and
television. Also included is a preface relaying a first-hand account of
his adventures filming the 2010 Academy Award–winning documentary The
Cove, which covertly uncovered Japan’s inhumane dolphin-hunting
practices. O’Barry, a successful animal trainer who had had
everything—money, flashy cars, pretty women—came to realize that
dolphins were easy to train, not because of his great talent, but
because they possessed great intelligence, and that keeping them in
captivity was cruel and morally wrong. O’Barry now dedicates his life to
stopping the exploitation of these exceptional mammals by retraining
them to return to their natural habitats.
