An Australian man and his dog were rescued after being lost in the Pacific Ocean for months, according to Australian media reports.
Tim Shaddock, 51, of Sydney and his dog Bella left La Paz, Mexico, on his catamaran about three months ago, Sydney's 9News Channel reported Sunday. The pair were about a month into their trip bound for French Polynesia when they encountered a storm that wiped out the boat's communication capabilities.
They floated in the vast waters of the Pacific until a tuna trawler equipped with a helicopter that was out searching for tuna spotted Shaddock's boat drifting in the ocean, 9News reported.
