Missing Alaskan Dog Crosses 150 Miles of Sea Ice, Reunites With Family

When this family went on a trip to a nearby Alaskan island, three of their dogs went off on a bit of an adventure, which is not new for them, and while two of the three returned, one went further away for a longer time than usual.

Nanuq, a 1-year-old Australian shepherd, has an especially close bond with the family’s 8-year-old daughter, so imagine their surprise when they got word the dog was found in another town 150 miles away via sea ice!

The pup hitched a ride on a plane heading back to the area, and the family was reunited in a beautiful moment that is sweeping social media.
