A man who spent three months adrift with his dog has been rescued in Mexico

An Australian man and his dog have been adrift at sea for about three months before being found and rescued by a Mexican fishing boat. According to Reuters, 54-year-old Timothy Lyndsay Shaddock finally landed on dry land on Thursday. In April, Shadock set sail from the Bolivian city of La Paz with his dog, Bella, on a planned trip to French Polynesia. Along the way, a storm damaged his boat and its communications equipment, leaving Shadock unable to call for help and adrift. "I'm very grateful," Shadock said. I survived."

Mexican fishing boats reportedly found Shadock and took him to the Mexican port city of Manzanillo. The fishing boat belongs to Mexican fishing company Grupomar, which posted the news of the discovery of Shadock on Twitter on Tuesday local time. Shadock said he was grateful to the fishing boat captain and Grupomar for saving him. It was reported that Shadock had sustained himself and Bella by fishing and eating raw fish during the journey, but his health was not good after the storm. According to Shadock, Bella was picked up by him during a trip to Mexico and gave him a lot of company during the trip. Shadock said that despite his near-death experience, he "will be at sea again" in the future. "I don't know how long it will be before I go back to sea, but you know, I just love nature."
