Workers on an oil rig off the coast of Thailand rescued a dog who was shivering in the sea and pulled him to safety. One of the rescuers plans to adopt the dog, whose condition is improving, when he returns to shore this month.
Workers from the Chevron Thailand Exploration and Production Ltd. oil rig rescued a dog swimming 137 miles offshore in the Gulf of Thailand on Friday.
Photos Payalaw posted to Facebook, showing the workers tending to the soaking wet pup after he was pulled aboard. Once dry and rested, the dog seemed to be content as he posed with the doting workers. Payalaw wrote that the dog did not make a noise while he cling to the pole and that the workers raced to tie a rope around his neck so he wouldn't be swept away by waves, according to the. He looked "exhausted" but the workers gave him water and fed him some mineral supplements, Payalaw wrote.
The workers don't know how the dog ended up in the water so far from the coast, speculating that he may have fallen from a boat, Payalaw said. They named him Boonrod, which means “the dog rescued by merit."Had the winds and waves not been calm that day, the workers may not have seen the dog, Payalaw said.
