The man you see putting Clacton's dolphins through their routine in mid summer is Reg Bloom.
Reg also ran the British Whale Rescue Service & recieved about four or five calls a year for his
expertise and skill in saving animals in trouble on our british coastlines, including a stranded whale
on Clacton beach in 1975.
Reg trained Bubble & Squeak with alot of love & patience, earning trust from them which is a very
long process that can take months. Bubble & Squeak had their favourite tricks & activities which
was worked around their routines, if they didn't like doing anything they didn't want to,
they wouldn't do it, the pair could be very stubborn and mischievous at times.
