"Sailor had never met a whale shark before," she said. "I always hoped she would but that was by far better than I had ever imagined. I was telling her not to touch it but neither of them listened to me. Sailor sniffed and kissed the shark."

"I was so happy," Jade explained. "To see Sailor meet a whale shark, I honestly just felt overjoyed. Animals are incredible and it couldn't have gone any better. I wondered if she knew or could smell that this was the animal I swim with every day. My initial worry was that she might take a leap of faith onto the shark or that she would touch it. Once the shark was so close to her I knew I had nothing to worry about."
