"Crusoe" dog survives 4 months on island

That is one badass looking dog. I’m not surprised it can look after itself.

Stop kidding around.

Crazy- that dog swam over five miles to shore!

This article has a video link of the dog .

Stories about people being reunited with presumed-lost pets always make me smile.

I’m happy for the dog and its persons. Now we just have to wait for the Disney movie.

I do like these stories - bet there’ll be a documentary or something about the dog soon.

Koalas aren’t an endangered species.

And in real life they’re not even THAT cute. It’s like, dog versus koala, I know what I’d choose.

Koalas are in serious decline suffering from the effects of habitat destruction, domestic dog attacks, bushfires and road accidents. The Australian Koala Foundation estimates that there are less than 100,000 koalas left in the wild.

I don’t think I mentioned the word ‘cute’. I would sooner have native fauna such as a koala than some cross bred mongrel.

The poor great white shark that the pup ate on the swim in, on the other hand, is endangered.

Baa’d joke.

Unless there was Kentucky Fried Chicken within smelling distance, I’m afraid Buddy the Beagle wouldn’t have made it 1/4 mile in the ocean, let alone 5.

It’s so nice to hear some good news stories for a change.

Uh, where’s the cite for it even eating koalas? It wasn’t in any of the articles. The only person I’ve seen to make that assertion was Cicero.
