Dog Falls Overboard In Lake Michigan, Swims 6 miles To Reunite With Family

Meet Rylee.

Rylee is a 10-month old Belgian Malinois that is in training to be a search-and-rescue dog. Rylee fell overboard into Lake Michigan while the whole family was boating over the weekend. And Rylee is apparently one very determined dog because according to ABC News, after Rylee fell in the water, the dog swam more than 6 miles and then walked 12 miles to reunite with its family.

Watch Rylee's story here from WOOD TV8:
