It is not clear why the dog drifted so far away. Some reports suggest that it may have fallen off a fishing boat.
The rig workers named the dog Boonrod, which means “survivor” in Thai.
Boonrod was exhausted and needed food and clean water to drink.
They nursed Boonrod to his health and asked for help from an oil tanker to bring him ashore.
The dog was washed with fresh water and slept soundly.
Boonrod was loaded onto an oil tanker passing through the rig area on April 15 and transferred to a veterinary center in southern Thailand.
Boonrod was examined by a veterinarian upon arrival
