Tsunami dog rescued after 3 weeks at sea.
Holy crap. A house can stay afloat for that long?
The dog was described as "emaciated, but alive" after it had been adrift since the March 11 disaster.
A helicopter first spotted the dog, but the animal was scared by the propellers, so it hid under the roof. Rescuers were forced to descend onto the roof to try to lure the dog to safety. They even tried to poke a hole in the roof, but the dog still stayed away.

Nice to see some positive story despite such a tragedy. I always think of all the poor animals involved in natural disasters. Such survivors!

Nice to see some humanity in expending some resources to save this dog. A heartwarming story.

That's awesome.
One of my favorite sayings is, "I wish I was half the man my dog thinks I am."
Reunion video made me go take my stinky mutt for nice long run at the dog park. If only everyone were so easy to please.
