Lucky dog rescued from ice floe
Lucky dog rescued from ice floe
Baltic, the spunky dog who floated at least 75 miles (120 kilometers) on an ice floe, has a new owner: The seaman who rescued him.
Wojciech Pelczarski of the Sea Fisheries Institute in Gdynia said the decision was made after the dog rejected six people who had claimed to be his original owner.
He said Thursday the would-be owners were probably trying to be part of the media attention surrounding the dog's dramatic rescue.
Pelczarski, whose institute co-owns the research ship "Baltica" that rescued the dog and nicknamed him, says Baltic is sociable, affectionate and was getting his first bath since his icy ordeal because his fur was still salty.
The dog's new master is Adam Buczynski, who pulled him to safety from an ice sheet in the Baltic Sea last week.

wow that is amazing how that dog traveled on the ice, first how did the dog get on the ice in the first place but i am so happy that they rescue the dog on the ice.
That is so sad but I'm happy they found the dog. I would be so happy to be rescued from the cold ice. I wonder what the guy thought.
I feel sorry for the dog that was in the ice flow.If my dog was there he would of been crying,sad,and howling for help......thats so sad
that is good that the dog was saved and sad that it did not freeze that would be so sad to see a dog freeze and die
Awe! That is so sad that dog must be excited to have an owner. I don't get why people would pretend to be his owner because that just isn't right.
I feel sorry for the dog that was in the ice flow.If my dog was there he would of been crying,sad,and howling for help.The dog that was there was lucky that the rescuers got there in time.I would not imagine what would of happened if that dog was not saved.
poor doggy!! The old owner should have known better not to let their dog out near ice at all cause they can slip, fall, or go into the water and die. The new owner is lucky to have this dog because he will take very good care of him and NOT put him on ice! I hope that the dog loves were he is now!
There was a dog like Baltic that when on a froze lake. The owners call 911 and, the father got mad for not saving the dog. The ice would break if a person step on it. The dog was saved and, the father went to jail for fighting a cop. It was on animal planet on untamed and, uncut. Baltic was properly SO cold. Baltic is a real lucky dog. I wonder if another dog gets on ice again.
its nice for the person to rescue the dog.
i liked the artical because it was happy at the end.
the dog is happy again now that he is safe.
he must have been starving to death.
