There is a real story about an Australian cattle dog named Sophie who struggled through many hardships in 2009 According to Rebecca O’Connell. “While on a boat with her family off the coast of Queensland, Australia, the dog was thrown off when the craft hit a rough wave. The resilient pup swam five miles back to shore and ended up on St. Bees Island, an island inhabited mostly by wild horses. Sophie managed to stay alive by hunting feral goats. Eventually, she was nabbed by a ranger and reunited with her family.” Perhaps she managed to go through so many hardships because of her highly energetic and active mind temperament.
