'Survivor' the dog is safely back on land after being found by oil rig workers swimming about 135 miles from shore in the Gulf of Thailand.

In this Friday, April 12, 2019, photo, a dog sits on an oil rig after being rescued in the Gulf of Thailand. "Survivor" the dog is safely back on land after being found by oil rig workers swimming about 220 kilometers from shore in the Gulf of Thailand. Chevron Thailand worker Vitisak Payalaw posted on Facebook that the dog was sighted last Friday swimming toward the platform. Vitisak says the pup clung to the platform below deck without barking or whimpering.

A worker on the rig belonging to Chevron Thailand Exploration and Production, Vitisak Payalaw, said on his Facebook page that they saw the dog swimming toward the platform last Friday. He said they were lucky to spot it because if there had been waves it probably would not have been visible.

Human beings are the cruelest and most evil species to inhabit the earth.

he sure is a 'good boy...'

👏👏👏👍

Pretty sure there was a good reason this little doggie jumped into the sea.

Probably an illegal immigrant or defector...

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I doubt he was able to swim that distance, he probably jumped, fell off or was thrown off a boat or vessel at sea.

Tough little guy, I hope they find a home for him

Totally meant to survive!! I hope the pup finds a wonderful home soon ❤️ Great story!

'Survivor' needs a ghost writer for a book deal!

Thank you to the brave men who saved her! Poor baby- someone dumped her for her to be out that far! I hate people. Someone adopt this sweet baby girl!

Glad he found help and hopefully a new loving home

POOR LITTLE GUY, GLAD THEY FOUND HIM.

stopthatgirl7 why do they assume that he swam that distance? more plausible is he fell off a boat and swam a couple miles

doing the dog paddle?

ESCAPING DOGS USED FOR FOOD

Poor sweet baby!

Lil Soldier

I'll take him.

Yes
