A story of survival is lifting spirits in Japan.
A small dog was spotted by the Japanese Coast Guard in the Pacific Ocean, about a mile off the coast of Japan.
The dog was spotted on a roof in the middle of a floating island of debris that probably was swept out to sea by the receding tsunami.
Against all the odds, the dog appears to have survived by living in a partially submerged house that had been swept out to sea.
When a coast guard crew member dropped down off the rescue helicopter, the frightened dog hid for a time. But rescuers were finally able to get the pooch on board.
Despite being out at sea for apparently three weeks, the dog appeared to be in fair condition.
The dog was not wearing a collar. So for now, the dog has a new home aboard the Japanese coast guard ship.
