Dog and human reunited after tsunami
A two-year old dog and her human companion were reunited after 3 weeks of being apart since the Japanese tsunami.
The hound was rescued by the coast guard when she was found floating on a detached rooftop. An animal rescue centre cared for her along with other dogs and cats until the owners come to collect them, if they are fortunate enough to do so.
