Dear Longreads Members,

This week's Member Pick is "The Dolphin Trainer Who Loved Dolphins Too Much," a Longreads Original by Tim Zimmermann who spent six months working on a story about a dolphin trainer named Ashley Guidry. Guidry worked at a marine park in Panama City Beach, Florida called Gulf World and, after experiencing how business was done behind the scenes, came to the painful conclusion that she had to quit her job.

Your generous support is making these stories possible. Share this story on Twitter to spread the word about the stories you're funding.
