Description

When Jan and Dave Griffith's beloved cattle dog, Sophie, fell overboard from the family yacht during rough weather, they feared the worst. But Sophie, a true Aussie battler, wasn't going to give up that easily. She swam six miles through shark-infested waters to a remote Whitsunday island, where she survived for five months before being miraculously reunited with her amazed owners.

Sophie, a highly domesticated dog, had been living ferally – and surviving. Yet one glimpse of her owners when they were reunited was enough for the old Sophie to re-emerge.

Sophie: Dog Overboard is an amazing, inspirational story of survival, loyalty, and what binds animals and humans together.
