All About Dogs

A dog that went missing on an island off the coast of Alaska just showed up in mainland Alaska . . . after walking across more than 150 miles of sea ice.

His name is Nanuq.  (nah-NOOK)  Someone posted photos after he showed up in a town called Wales.  It’s on the western tip of mainland Alaska.  He had a bitemark from an unknown animal, possibly a seal or polar bear.  But he’s okay.

His owners live on St. Lawrence Island, about 160 miles south.  A pilot who was headed there let him hitch a ride, and he’s back home now.  (Here’s a photo, and a video of his owners waiting for the plane.  The reunion happens at 10:45.)

 

And speaking of dogs:  The internet just found the real-life Snoopy.  She’s a mini sheepadoodle named Bayley that looks exactly like the cartoon character.

Her owners posted a video of her for National Pet Day.  People online are loving it.
