Lonely dog saved from sea ice floe

A dog floating alone on an ice floe 15 miles off the Polish coast was rescued by a passing ship.

The dog was found adrift in the Baltic on Monday by the crew of the Baltica.

The crew said the rescue was difficult and the dog kept falling into the icy waters.

The dog was warmed, massaged, and fed aboard the ship, and has now been taken ashore for a vet’s check-up.

Ship’s captain Jersey Wosachlo said crew members would put their hearts into reuniting the dog with his masters.
