The creature had become trapped on dry land after the Madeira River in Amazonas State, Brazil, partially dried up.
Luckily, the local men spotted the stricken mammal in the nick of time.
About 111,000 people are currently affected by the devastating drought in Amazonas.
Some 20 municipalities have declared a state of emergency, as reported by Need To Know.
Some reports suggest the dolphin in question belongs to the genus Sotalia.
Its two member species are the Guiana dolphin (Sotalia guianensis) and the tucuxi (Sotalia fluviatilis).
According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the former is near threatened and the latter is endangered.
However, it’s also possible it’s actually an Amazon river dolphin (Inia geoffrensis), which is also an endangered species.
Kleber commented: “Now this is a true influencer.
“Congratulations to everyone involved!”
