Lucky dog survives Baltic ice sheet adventure
He was fortuitously rescued from the ice by the crew of a Polish boat.
‘My crew saw… a shape moving on the water and we immediately decided to get closer to check if it was a dog or maybe a seal relaxing on the ice,’ Jan Joachim, senior officer aboard the Baltica, told Reuters Television.
‘As we got closer to the ice floe we saw that it was a dog struggling not to fall into the water.’
Ship engineer Adam Buczynski managed to scoop the dog off the floe onto an inflatable dinghy and wrapped him in a blanket.
‘He didn’t even squeal. There was just fear in his big eyes,’ said Buczynski.
The dog was first seen on the ice floe around 70 miles inland, to the south on the Vistula river, but firemen there were unable to rescue him. When the Baltica crew found him, he had already drifted about 18 miles out to sea. [via metro.co.uk]](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kx0ch20sTY1qzou5ko1_400.jpg)
