Caption: Seal Named After Judi Dench Returns To The Wild With Help From Famous Actress. A grey seal pup named Judi Dench returned to the wild on Tuesday 21 November 2023 after being helped back to health by the famous actress herself. The pup was found injured and dehydrated this autumn and taken in by the Cornish Seal Sanctuary in Gweek. As it happened, the wildlife-loving James Bond star was in the area with her family at the time - and met her sickly seal namesake. The Dench family visit on 22 September and the actress was so excited to meet Judi the seal, she ‘adopted’ her and fellow rescue pup Owen Wilson to support the charity’s efforts Finty Williams, Dame Judi’s daughter, was also on the visit with her mother. She said: “We felt so very lucky to see them both and Ma is very honoured that she has a little seal, bounding about in the sea, that shares her name”. Judi the pup has now returned to the wild with fellow rescues, Owen Wilson and Jack Black, following their successful rehabilitation programme. The release was the charity’s first one of the 23/24 grey seal pup season. With the pups now healthy and ready to face life in the wild, they’ll have the best possible chance of survival.
