This is the moment a photographer rescues a dolphin that washed ashore on a beach in Mexico.

The footage, captured in Ponce Beach in northwestern Sinaloa, shows the man taking the dolphin into deep sea waters.

Later on, the dolphin can be seen swimming away in the sea.

The filmer later wrote online: ''Mexican photographer Jesus Aguirre found the dolphin while arriving at the beach for a photoshoot.

''The photographer and his client ran to rescue the dolphin as soon as it was spotted.''
