Shrimp Boat Captain Keith \u201cKiwi\u201d Soffes was sailing in Galveston Bay, off the Southeast coast of Texas, last week when his dog, Monster, fell overboard. Soffes told FOX 26 Houston<\/a> he didn\u2019t notice Monster wasn\u2019t on the boat until he was five miles away from the shore.<\/p>\n

Soffes told FOX 26 Monster often accompanies him on his shrimp boat.<\/p>\n

\u201cTotally heartbroken,\u201d Soffes said in a Facebook post on May 26 after spending hours searching up and down the coast, hoping someone might know where his beloved friend may be.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Five days later, Soffes said, upon receiving hopes and prayers, someone responded to his Facebook post saying they had seen a dog who looks like Monster at a local park.<\/p>\n

“I said, ‘Man, she couldn’t have made that swim,'” he told FOX 7 Austin<\/a>. “There’s no way that dog swam that far.”<\/p>\n

Monster was found at a nearby trailer park. Soffes said he cried so hard and received so many happy kisses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMonster dog peacefully asleep.. she acts like nothing happened,\u201d Soffes wrote in a new Facebook post. \u201cSo glad I got my little friend back.\u201d<\/p>\n
