Lucky dog rescued from ice floe
Baltic, the spunky dog who floated at least 75 miles (120 kilometers) on an ice floe, has a new owner: The seaman who rescued him.
Wojciech Pelczarski of the Sea Fisheries Institute in Gdynia said the decision was made after the dog rejected six people who had claimed to be his original owner.
He said Thursday the would-be owners were probably trying to be part of the media attention surrounding the dog's dramatic rescue.
Pelczarski, whose institute co-owns the research ship "Baltica" that rescued the dog and nicknamed him, says Baltic is sociable, affectionate and was getting his first bath since his icy ordeal because his fur was still salty.
The dog's new master is Adam Buczynski, who pulled him to safety from an ice sheet in the Baltic Sea last week.

That dog is very lucky. I can't believe that somebody would actually pretend to be the owner just because they wanted to be in the media.
I love dogs i would do the same thing. Dogs are so cute. Of course i would save them even if I didn`t have to. I would save any animal.
I think its really bad to get rid of your dog that way it could have died the owner could have just gave the dog away not try to kill it.
That's mest up that someone would lie about being the owner. It's kind of interesting how the dogs name sounds like balto, which was another dog in a movie that lived in a very icy place. I wonder how the dog got food.
That is good that the dog got rescued by six people because that dog could of died of choke and we don't want that to happen and that dog was probably was cold.
poor dog! it got stuck and the dog could have died and the owner needs to be more careful next time and watch his dog better! :(
