On May 2 a couple on their Honeymoon was out walking their dogs. Their dog, Stella went missing. They searched for days, but found no sign of her.
On Aug 8 a couple of friends out for a surfing and fishing trip spotted something from their boat. It looked like an animal and when they got closer to shore they found a dog hiding in a remote cave. They brought her back to the boat and headed for home. 
The story was made public and ROAM, Reuniting Owners with Animals Missing, soon received a call.  Stella's people  saw the story and knew it was their dog.
A happy reunion soon followed.

Stella is a tough dog. She survived on her own in a very remote area. After all she was rescued by boat. It is remarkable that she was found at all. Being reunited with her people is the work of Roam. They make sure that lost animals make it home whenever possible.

The work of a group like ROAM is invaluable. Without them many animals would never find their way home. People don't live in these remote areas so if a pet goes missing they do eventually have to go home without the pet. Roam keeps track of missing pets and they are a place people can call if they find a pet.
In Stella's case they were able to reunite her with her people very quickly after her months long ordeal. 
It is an unbelievable rescue. Stella is one lucky dog.
