Lost Alaskan Dog's Epic Sea-Ice Journey Ends in Joyful Reunion
TL;DR Summary
Nanuq, a one-year-old Australian shepherd, walked 150 miles on frozen Bering Sea ice from Gambell to Wales, Alaska, after disappearing with another family dog. He was bitten by an unidentified animal but was safely returned to his owner, Mandy Iworrigan, in Gambell after a month. The reason for his journey remains a mystery, but Iworrigan believes he survived by eating leftovers of seal or caught a seal and probably birds.
