A dog that fell overboard in rough seas off Australia has been reunited with her owners after surviving alone on an island for four months.
"Sophie Tucker", an Australian cattle dog, fell overboard as she sailed with her family through choppy waters off the northeast Queensland coast in November 2008.
The dog was believed to have drowned, but Sophie Tucker swam five nautical miles to largely uninhabited St Bees Island, where she survived on her own by catching and eating feral baby goats.
Rangers captured Sophie Tucker and returned her to her family last week. According to her owners, Sophie is in good shape and is quickly readjusting to the comforts of home.
