What a delight to see the beautiful photo of a seal with her pup on the front cover of the Oak Bay News (Aug. 29).

Along with many others, I was lucky enough to witness several seals with their pups playing and resting near the marina last week.

Not often do you get a chance to see a newborn seal pup curled up on its mom’s back. It was so sweet, heartwarming and hopeful.

I’m sure others will agree, the shoreline around Oak Bay is a treasure worthy of protection.

I hope these pups have a chance to live a long and healthy life.
