Dog rescued 220km from Thai coast by rig workers
BBC ^ | 15 April 2019 | Staff

A dog discovered some 220km (135 miles) off the coast of Thailand has been rescued by a team of oil rig workers after the exhausted pooch was spotted paddling near a drilling platform.

The brown aspin swam towards the workers when they called out to him last Friday afternoon. He was then pulled to safety.

It is not clear how the dog became stranded so far out at sea. Some reports suggest he may have fallen from a fishing trawler.

“What are you doing out here, boy? What kind of boat did you fall out of?”

BARK!

“Was the outboard running? What did it sound like?”

GRRRRR!

“Look! There’s boy out there in the water. It’s Timmy!
Go get Timmy, boy!”

SCREW TIMMY!

Lucky dog.

Get him some water, clean him up, feed him a little kow tom (rice soup) and let him rest.

They know how to take care of animals around these parts.

I would adopt him but I don’t speak Thai and he probably doesn’t understand English.

I imagine he’d learn English fairly quick.
