João spent a week cleaning the creature's tarred feathers and feeding him a daily diet of fish before taking him back to the sea to let him go. But the penguin wouldn't leave! He stayed with João for eleven months until finally disappearing. Now, every June, Dindim returns to de Souza's home by the sea and stays until February -- and every year he becomes more affectionate and appears even happier to see his human friend."-- Provided by publisher.
