Today's extreme K9 is Ban, a two-year-old mixed breed!
"Three weeks after the tsunami and earthquake in Japan this year, a helicopter crew spotted something moving on a huge pile of debris floating more than a mile offshore--- it was a dog pacing across a roof of a wrecked house. The castaway canine had been swept out to sea by the tsunami, then had managed to survive on the drifting roof.
A rescue team arrived in a canoe, wrapped the dog in towels, then carried her aboard a large boat on a stretcher. A woman from a nearby town saw the rescue on the local news and instantly recognized her missing pet, Ban. Dog and owner are happily reunited--- safe and on dry land."
