Dolphin therapy is a burgeoning industry. Semi-local places like Sea World will sell you one-on-one hours with their various animals at a steep rate, and if you want to go a step further you can travel to dedicated "clinics" in the Caribbean and such. I have a magnet for one place on my fridge (got it for free somewhere, and I can always use extra magnets.)
