A Polish pooch has good reason to wag his tail in gratitude today after a team of ocean scientists rescued him from the icy waters of the Baltic Sea. The shivering dog was found 15 miles (24 km) out in the frigid waters, struggling to remain on shifting ice sheets. Following the rescue, the team of researchers dried off the lucky pup, nicknaming him “Baltic,” and returned to the port city of Gdynia. Now, the team hopes to find Baltic’s real owners.
