Let us all observe this seal friend that practices good manners.

Simon McGarr captured the polite seal while taking a walk with his family along Howth Harbor in Dublin Sunday when they came along a man feeding fish to a seal.

The seal, so happy to have been fed yummy fish, popped its head out of the water and actually waved "thanks" to its feeder.

What a good role model this seal is for all people and animals.
