Could you imagine loosing your dog overboard during a storm while sailing in the middle of an ocean? Well, thats what happened to a couple while sailing on holiday off the coast of Queensland. You can check out the full article on BBC's website here http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7986816.stm
After loosing the dog while going through some choppy waters they went back looking for her with no luck. Assuming the dog was lost they left the waters.
Turns out amazingly the story has a happy ending. The dog was able to swim five nautical miles to make it onto a small island. There the dog lived off of baby goats until rangers who patrol the islands saw the dog running wild. Can you imagine what the dog must have been going through durign all of this?
I'm so happy for the dogs safe return to the family and hope next time they at least put a life jacket on their dog before boating.
