Dog treads water for 11 hours to save her owner - Catherine - 02-29-2020

A man and his dog were in a boat off of Australia when the boat capsized. The two got separated. The dog stayed with some of the stuff from the boat, treading water for 11 hours. The dog was spotted and rescued and that triggered a search for the man. He was found clinging to the sunken boat.

Heidi really was a brave dog and a determined one. If she had swum ashore and been found no one would have known to look for the man. Because she stayed with the debris people knew they needed to search for boat wreckage and hopefully a survivor. 
I am glad Heidi got her happy ending. She deserved it. Hopefully they have many more happy years together.
