They rushed to the tank and found that Dewey had jumped out through an opening in the back. "I didn't know they could do that," Evans said. She estimated the Nemo wannabee was out of the tank for about 30 seconds -- not long enough to get very far -- but still a pretty good story to share with his friends.
