A dog found swimming more than 220 kilometers (135 miles) from shore by workers on an oil rig crew in the Gulf¹ of Thailand has been returned safely to land.

 

泰国湾一个石油钻井平台上的工作人员在距离海岸220多公里（135英里）的海面上发现一只小狗，目前这只小狗已安全返回陆地。
 

 

A worker on the rig belonging to Chevron² Thailand Exploration and Production, Vitisak Payalaw, said on his Facebook page that the dog was sighted last Friday swimming toward the platform.

 

The crew managed to rescue the dog by putting a rope around its neck and hauling it up. He said the crew speculated it might have fallen off a fishing trawler, and dubbed³ him "Boon⁴ Rod," or "Survivor⁵."

 

The dog landed Monday at the southern port of Songkhla and was declared in good shape after being delivered to the animal protection group Watchdog Thailand.
