2.22.13 Russian Fisherman

 

Siberia is a cold and dangerous place to be stranded in the winter.  Fishermen in the port of Magadan in the Sea of Okhotsk spotted a dog trapped on a chunk of ice, and knew they couldn’t leave him there to suffer.  One fisherman braved the icy water to save him.

 

No one knows how the dog came to be marooned in the sea, but thanks to these compassionate fishermen, he will hopefully stay safe on dry land.
