Dog reunites with owner after tsunami rescue in Japan
Monday, April 04, 2011
TOKYO (KABC) -- A dog that may have spent up to three weeks floating at sea after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan has been reunited with its owner.
A coast guard helicopter spotted the dog Friday, adrift on the roof of a demolished house more than a mile off the tsunami-hit town of Kesennuma in Miyagi. But when a rescuer was lowered down to get it, the dog took off. It took several hours to catch the dog.
The rescue was broadcast on television. The owner of the 2-year-old mixed breed named Ban saw it and they were reunited at an animal shelter Monday.
Public broadcaster NHK aired images of the reunion with the woman hugging Ban and the dog warmly wagging her tail.
