A dog which has been rescued at sea off the coast of Kesennuma, Japan, was reunited with the owner on Monday more than three weeks after being washed away by the killer tsunami triggered by the March 11 earthquake. Japanese broadcaster NTV aired images of the reunion with the woman hugging Ban and the dog warmly wagging her tail. The dog was rescued on Friday after being found drifting on a roof.

  • That is one hell of a lucky dog. Well, Either lucky... or very, very smart. I wonder if that debris happened to float by or if it actually selected that from a few different roofs? Hm. Either way, It's wonderful that both dog and owner are safe and together. :3
