A pet Australian Cattle Dog who was washed overboard and believed drowned has been found alive four months later. Washed overboard in harsh weather off the coast of Queensland, she had managed to swim ashore on a remote island. There she survived on the food she could find, probably mainly baby goats. She was recently found on the island by visiting rangers. Now she has returned to her humans. While the rangers had a hard time capturing her, she was quick to adapt to civilisation once she met her own humans and got back home with them.
This is an amazing, true story about the survival skill that domesticated dogs can show. Do not think for a moment that most dogs would not survive in the wild. It is just that life is easier and thus happier in the civilized surroundings of our humans. Most humans feel the same, so who do I have to convince, anyway?
