I'm assuming doggy paddle. Maybe a bit of backstroke here and there.

All I can think of is luck, that the tide carried him in that direction. Once he could see land, I presume he would try to get there.
Amazing story. I would have difficulty surviving four months on an island...hard to find food...hard to get shelter...hard to get fire going...no Calgarypuck! (the horror! the horror!)

So, this dog has been killing and eating goats? Now you have it at home - better not be late feeding it or the dingo will eat your baby...
