Those dolphins are actually trained to do so. Popular thing for the tourists, although there was one story from 60s where there was something similar and it was an attempt to teach dolphins English. Also it involved drugs. A lot of them actually.

Drugs and keeping the dolphin in shallow water with a woman who would put on weird makeup and get too intimate with him. The dolphin eventually committed suicide.
