Crazy story. a friend of mine knows these people.

From the Vancouver Sun


VANCOUVER - For one lucky five year-old, a seal that dares jump onto a dock and pull her underwater is more than bold.

He's just plain rude.

Minutes after a seal pulled Caleigh Cunning, 5, into the water at West Vancouver's Thunderbird Marina yesterday evening, the girl had a few questions for her father.

"She said, 'Daddy, why did the seal drag me in the water?'" said her father, Mike Cunning.

"I said, 'I think the seal wanted you to go for a swim.'

"She said, 'well, the seal wasn't very nice.'"

At about 6 p.m. Tuesday evening, Cunning, Caleigh and some friends were standing on the dock, cleaning the fish they had caught after a short trip off Thunderbird marina.

Cunning said he had turned from his daughter for a moment when he heard a splash.

"I looked over and couldn't see my daughter anywhere."

He said she popped up about two metres away, where she had been dragged by the seal into the water.

"I said 'Caleigh, swim to me, swim to me Caleigh!'"

Cunning said his friend, who had seen the incident, told him the seal had jumped four feet out of the water and Caleigh by the arm and pulled her into the water.

"It just happened so quickly. It was instantaneous."
