An Australian sailor and his dog were rescued after being adrift at sea for months in a remarkable tale of survival that has been likened to Tom Hanks starrer Cast Away.
Tim Shaddock, a 51-year-old Sydney resident and his dog Bella, survived at sea by eating raw fish and drinking rainwater, local reports said. The doctor who attended to the sailor said he had “normal vital signs” and said his dog is “stable and very well”.
