My daughter has two Australian cattle dogs. I guessed the breed before clicking on your link. I'm convinced they are one of the most intelligent breeds around. And, they are quite strong. I'll share the puppy pics. They have the same dad and different moms. They are 3 months apart. One is a blue, like the one in the article, the other is a red.

***Pet dog survives four months lost at sea off Australia


An Australian pet dog believed to have been lost at sea four months ago has been reunited with her owners after swimming through shark-infested waters to an island where she survived by hunting wild goats.

That is an amazing story!........

And although this occurred......

"She had become quite wild and vicious. She wouldn't let anyone go near her or touch her. She wouldn't take food from anyone."

......apparently she's in the process of readjusting.....

Since her rescue, Sophie Tucker has been quick to readjust to the comforts of home, complete with air-conditioning.

"She surprised us all. She was a house dog and look what she's done, she's swum over five nautical miles, she's managed to live off the land all on her own," Mrs Griffiths said. "We wish she could talk, we truly do."
