Toni Goodridge raised a harbor seal with her father Harry Goodridge, Harbormaster of Rockport, Maine. The antics of Andre made national news more than once and this is the complete story of his life with the Goodridges. His love for the Goodridge family was so strong that he swam from Connecticut to Maine every spring to be with them again. The personal introduction and afterword by Toni Goodridge adds a unique flavor to the recording.
