TSUNAMI DOG RESCUED IN JAPAN







This little dog has been found alive and well adrift at sea, an astonishing three weeks after the tsunami that devastated Japan. Members of the Japan Coast Guard came across the dog on Friday as they were conducting an aerial search of the area.

Against all odds: The dog appears to have survived by clinging to a partially submerged  house that had been swept away in to the sea, by the massive earthquake and tsunami that struck on March 11. Local television showed showed pictures of the dog scampering around the roof of the house before it disappeared inside through a hole in the roof.

Rescuers had hoped to find more tsunami survivors living inside the house but after tearing the roof open, it was found to be empty apart from the dog. Despite its three weeks at sea, the medium-sized brown dog seemed to be in reasonably good condition considering its ordeal.
