Two brothers at a beach in Dustin, Florida, spotted an injured hammerhead shark in distress. They didn’t hesitate to render aid to the injured animal.

In a brave act, one of the brothers boldly grabbed the shark and brought it to shore. The brother then proceeded to remove several deep fishing hooks embedded in the shark’s mouth and body.

After removing the hooks, he released the shark back into the shallow water.

However the shark seemed disorientated, so the other brother swam out to help the shark get back to the deep water.
