Dog rescued while swimming 135 miles off Thailand
An oil rig crew managed to rescue the dog and speculated that it might have fallen off a fishing trawler.
A dog found swimming more than 135 miles from shore by workers on an oil rig crew in the Gulf of Thailand has been returned safely to land.
A worker on the rig belonging to Chevron Thailand Exploration and Production, Vitisak Payalaw, said on his Facebook page that the dog was sighted last Friday swimming towards the platform.
He said they were lucky to spot it because if there had been waves it probably would not have been visible.
The dog made it to the platform, clinging to the support structure below deck without barking or whimpering, Vitisak wrote.
Vitisak said if the dog was unclaimed, he would like to take it to his home in northeast Thailand
