A Russian icebreaker ship was going about its usual route when the sailors on board noticed something that didn’t belong on the ice below. After taking a closer look, they realized they had come across a white dog. They kept an eye on the lost dog while they lowered a ladder so they could rescue her as quickly as possible.
Aika the dog must have been ready to end her adventure away from home. Without any encouragement, she managed to make her way onto the ship using the stairs. “With the help of mobile phone, we established contact with the local population, found the owner of the dog,” said Evgeny Nagibin, a navigation(领航) assistant.
The dog’s owner, Svetlana Chereshneva, was completely stunned. It always feels like a miracle when a missing dog is found, but Aika’s story is especially astounding. Svetlana and Aika live in the nearby village of Mys Kamenny. One day, the two of them were on a walk when Aika managed to get out of her mom’s sight and ran away. The herding dog ended up wandering around for over a week before she was found.
Aika is a Samoyed herding dog(萨摩耶牧羊犬), which are native to northern Russia and Siberia. There’s no doubt that it helped her survive her cold journey in the Arctic. However, Svetlana recognizes the huge role the sailors played. In fact, she said she doesn’t believe Aika would have survived if it had not been for their kindness. Soon after the dog returned home, Svetlana was happy to report that she and Aika are both excited to be back together again. Despite all she endured, it didn’t take long for Aika to go back to her normal self.
