An amazing dog

Jan Griffith lives in north-east Australia. One day she and her husband Dave went sailing, taking their large dog, Sophie, with them.

Sadly, during a storm, Sophie fell off the boat and into the water. Jan and Dave went back to look for her, but without any luck. Jan was sure that she was dead.

In fact, without anyone knowing, Sophie swam to an island ten kilometres away. Very few people live there and when the islanders first saw Sophie running around she looked thin and hungry. Four months later Sophie was seen by the islanders again. She looked fatter and healthier. This was when they called the police, who came to take her back to north-east Australia.

The Griffith family heard that the police were bringing a dog back from the island. ‘I was sure it wasn’t Sophie,’ said Jan ‘but we decided to meet the boat anyway. When it arrived I saw her and called her name. She got really excited and ran over to us immediately. I have no idea what she ate for four months on the island. She’s quite happy back at home with us now but we certainly won’t take her sailing again!’
