Workers on an oil rig about 130 miles off the coast of Thailand found a dog paddling near the rig, cold and shivering, with no indication of how he got there. 'His eyes were so sad. He just kept looking up just like he wanted to say, 'please help me''
The brown canine was found paddling near the rig, cold and shivering, with no indication of how he got there. Rig worker Vitisak Payalaw, an offshore planner with Chevron, told CNN that fellow staff members spotted the dog swimming towards the platform on the afternoon of April 12, and held out a pole for him. But, buffeted by the waves, he was unable to climb up, his grasp repeatedly slipping.
The workers then decided to throw a rope around the dog and pull him up.Once on board they bathed the dog and gave him some fresh water and an electrolyte drink, naming him Boonrod, which means"survivor." "He looked extremely exhausted and ran out of energy. He didn't move much," Payalaw told CNN."He was shaking and he couldn't stand, he had to sit all the time."Boonrod has returned to the mainland to be looked after by a charity.
