Imagine the surprise of this Kayak fisherman in the Gulf of Mexico near Sarasota in the USA when a dog is spotted drifing near by. The fisherman, who wants to remain nameless, rescued the distressed dog and pulled him aboard.
A visit to a vet confirmed that the dog was in reasonable health and had a microchip. This is when what would otherwise be a happy story of a lost dog found, revealed a sad twist. The dog, called Barney was out being walked by his owner, a 53 year old local woman, when she was hit and killed by a drunk driver. Barney ran away, and appears to have entered the water in his distress.
The accident scene was about a mile from where Barney was found swimming.
The positive news is that Barney is now re-united with his family, and they are helping each other cope with the terrible situation.
