Fisherman Found After 3 Months Lost at Sea With Dog

It’s been three months since an Australian man and his dog have seen any other person after getting lost at sea. Tim Shaddock, 54, told his rescuers that he set off from Mexico’s Baja peninsula hoping to cross the Pacific Ocean and arrive in French Polynesia. Shaddock and his dog Bella reportedly hit bad weather that knocked out their electricity just weeks into their journey. When his provisions ran out he started eating raw fish to survive. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.

3 months is such a long time when you actually think about it. It’s crazy how he and the dog ended up surviving.

he managed to survive AND help his dog survive, amazing feat. hope he is recovering well.

The fact that he had his dog is probably what gave him the strength to carry on. I would go anywhere with just my dog and be happy

Need more beautiful stories like this instead of all the negative ones and killings in the world.

It should always be about helping people.

Respect for this man and his loyal dog, what a survivor.

I bet having the dog there really helped the man with keeping up with his mental state.

I'm glad that he and the dog were both found alive and safe. Thank goodness that they were spotted! I wish them a speedy recovery.

I so admire and respect the fisherman who protected his dog the whole time

He said he felt terrible for bringing the dog because he was losing hope and knew he took her to a death trip. So to make her happier he gave her most of the food they captured.
He had a harpoon and used it to catch bigger fish until a really big one as he says yanked it from his hands underwater, after that he could only fish with a line.
