Homework Term 4 Week 3

Two years ago, in February 2013, a fisherman saved a shivering dog that was stuck on an iceberg by swimming in the freezing ocean in Siberia. He risked his life when he put a harness on the dog so that it could be lifted onto a nearby fishing ship. The dog was happy to play with the other dogs afterwards.
