DOG SWIMS 6 MILES, WALKS 12 TO REUNITE WITH FAMILY

A dog swam more than 6 miles and walked a dozen more to find its family after falling overboard into Lake Michigan. Edward Casas was boating on the lake Sunday with his wife, Kristin, and the family dog, a 10-month old Belgian Malinois named Rylee. Rylee went overboard while Edward was in the engine room trying to figure out a mechanical problem with the boat and his wife was steering. Casas says he sent out a mayday call on the radio and was connected to a volunteer group that searches for lost dogs. The next morning someone spotted Rylee going into a nearby campground and grabbed him. Edward Casas says there was a lot of sobbing and hugging when the family was reunited with him.
* A lot of sobbing and hugging, and licking. A lot of licking.
* The dog is in good shape, but he keeps barking, “Wilson! Wilson!”
* Let me guess – the dog was standing at the edge of the railing so he could stick his face into the wind?
* I bet the dog was thinking,”Well, that was the worse summer vacation ever.”
* Oh, a Belgian Malinois? That explains it. Those dogs are totally bad-ass.
* That’s where a puppy costs from $1,500 to $2,500.
* How bad are they? That was the breed of dog in “Person of Interest.” Enough said.
* And good luck getting the dog to go boating again.
