What an incredible story! In 2008 an Australian cattle dog accidentally fell overboard and was lost from her adoring family. They searched and searched for her in the water but couldn’t find. Leaving, heartbroken and assuming that she must have drowned, they had no idea that Sophie was not only alive, but would have survived months on her own on a remote island off the coast of Australia. The best part? They were reunited and lived happily ever after. Remarkable story.
