Dog reunites with owner after she falls off a boat and swims several miles to safety
By Mike-Ross
Captain Keith "Kiwi" Soffes of Texas is a shrimp boat captain that lost his dog while boating. Monster, the dog, usually joins her owner on his shrimp boat, but she slipped overboard.
Soffes spoke to KRIV, "We just headed back to the dock. Monster was doing her regular old thing that she's always done. Goes back there and barks at the birds, does the Monster thing." He added, "We got to where we're going to load the net up on the back of the boat to come home, and she always goes back there, grabs the net, and starts pulling on it. And then she wasn't there."

The shrimp boat captain stated that when he discovered Monster was missing, he spun the boat around in an attempt to retrieve her but was unsuccessful. Soffes wept as he remembered the time he believed he'd never see his puppy again. He said, "I said, 'Where she at?' It was the middle of the bay, pretty much. I mean, you know, open water, four or five miles from any type of land."
He added, "My heart just fell. I couldn't even speak, but I turned around, I got my GPS coordinates, and I said, 'We're going to find her.' I looked up and down the coast." He posted the incident on Facebook, hoping that by some chance, his lovely puppy would make it to shore, but days passed with no news. Soffes was upset since this was the first time the pair had been separated for any length of time.
