Pacific harbor seal pup Bogey was found alone just below the ninth hole of the famous Pebble Beach Golf Links. While it’s not certain how Bogey ended up alone, many harbor seal pups are orphaned due to humans or dogs getting too close and scaring the pup’s mother away.

Once at our hospital, Bogey was fed a nutritious fish-mash smoothie five times a day. It wasn’t long until he transitioned to eating whole fish and learning how to dive and catch them on his own—important skills Bogey would have learned from his mother in the wild. After months of care, Bogey was released back to his ocean home with other harbor seals his age.
