Los Angeles
(AFP) - The US Navy was surprised this week to find a dog alive and well on an
island off California a month after falling off its owner's boat.
Luna, a
German shepherd with piercing blue eyes, went overboard in early February while
its owner was fishing about a mile off San Clemente island, which is about 80
miles (127 kilometers) from the mainland.
Its owner
asked Naval Base Coronado for help in finding the dog, but it was given up for
dead after a search lasting several days.
"Fast
forward to yesterday," the navy said on the base's Facebook page.
"Luna showed up near staff at San Clemente Island -- a little thinner but
none the worse for wear."
Luna was
turned over to a friend of the owner for safekeeping until he returns from a
trip, it said.
