"Right there, curled up just like a dog on one of my bunks, was a tiny, little baby sea lion," Duffy said. "I was shocked."
Duffy woke the pup up and coaxed it back into the water.
"He followed my instructions like a dog," Duffy said. "Then every once in a while he looks back and he didn't look like he wanted to leave."
