"But then we saw subtle movements.” Fifteen-year-old Finn Holland loves animals, so when he heard that a shark washed up on a shore near his home in the southern New Brunswick coastal community of Maces Bay, he knew he had to help. “When we saw it, it looked really hurt, it almost looked dead,” Holland said. “But then we saw subtle movements.” “So I dragged him in by the tail into the ocean and I helped him guide himself in the water, and he just took off.” Holland said he was hesitant to touch the shark at first because it was about two metres long and weighed about 70 kilograms. “I was stunned, I mean, it was so fascinating," Holland said.
