It’s been three months since an Australian man and his dog have seen any other person after getting lost at sea. Tim Shaddock, 54, told his rescuers that he set off from Mexico’s Baja peninsula hoping to cross the Pacific Ocean and arrive in French Polynesia. Shaddock and his dog Bella reportedly hit bad weather that knocked out their electricity just weeks into their journey. When his provisions ran out he started eating raw fish to survive. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.

3 months is such a long time when you actually think about it. It’s crazy how he and the dog ended up surviving.

That's also 3 months not even knowing if rescue was coming. The mental fortitude it must have taken to keep going is certainly admirable. That man is really something!

@@brianpark2766It’s really not strange if you know the whole story. He deeply wanted to return to Australia to be with friends and family after such an ordeal. In order to take the dog to Australia with him, the dog would have had to been quarantined for months and months in isolation. After all they had been through, he didn’t want to put the sweet dog through that. So one of the rescuers stepped up to adopt the dog into his family to ensure he was cared for and had a good life going forward.😊

He said he felt terrible for bringing the dog because he was losing hope and knew he took her to a death trip. So to make her happier he gave her most of the food they captured. He had a harpoon and used it to catch bigger fish until a really big one as he says yanked it from his hands underwater, after that he could only fish with a line.

Now he gave the dog to the Captain of the fishing boat…….out of kindness. Australia has a super strict quarantine rules for pets. Basically weeks, or even months of isolation in a cage as a result. His dog, being a recent stray, such conditions would be spirit breaking. They will always have a bond, and he will never forget her. Plus she sounds like true sea dog!

Doesn't anyone else see an obvious glaring problem here? When they reported he'd lost his electrical power, my initial response was he was on a power boat. No electrical, no engine start. I hadn't heard he was heading to Australia (which would be quite the feat on a small power boat) nor had I heard he was on a, what looks to be a James Wharram Tiki design, a very sea worthy bluewater catamaran. I'm seeing a sail, a mast, two rudders, could see a boom but in an emergency, not entirely necessary, and I'm asking myself, where's the problem? No electricity on that boat isn't a problem. Doldrums? Perhaps. Not knowing how to sail a boat? Probable. No electricity... nope. That isn't the reason.
