An incredible story that proves the strength of life of this dog named Jolie. Her owners were devastated and thought they had lost her forever. But it was without counting on the physical form of their faithful companion.
A Danish couple and their Australian Shepherd dog Pretty were on vacation aboard a sailboat located somewhere in the Mediterranean bound forIbiza. On Wednesday June 22, 2022, they suffered a big storm. That’s when Pretty went overboard.
Unsuccessful attempts by the Coast Guard to locate and rescue her left her owners with little hope. They naturally thought that she had drowned in the middle of the gigantic waves.
But miraculously, 2 days later, Pretty arrived safe and sound on a beach inAguilassoutheast of theSpain.
Police Local Aguilas
A moving reunion
The tourists who saw disembarking Pretty wondered where she was coming from. They then took her to the local police who took care of her and then entrusted her to a local shelter. After checking her microchip, the trainers noted that she was domiciled at Denmark. A disturbing fact.
Before they had time to find her owners, a woman at sea near Calpe, a coastal town nearly 250 kilometers away, contacted them. She had heard the news and wanted to know if the event was real or if she had dreamed it. She couldn’t believe her ears.
The couple therefore reached the port, rented a vehicle and headed hastily towards the refuge ofAguilas.
