According to a report from Cape Cod Times, the passengers were aboard the Island Queen ferry when they saw the canine swimming alone in the waters between Falmouth and Martha’s Vineyard.

It was an emotional ferry ride for passengers with a happy ending thanks to the Island Queen and the Lovely Day.

The dog is thought to have fallen off an earlier ferry and has been reunited with its owner.

But the ferry was too large and nobody could reach down to the stranded animal.

The passengers tried to rescue the dog themselves, but could not due to the boat’s height. “I told my first mate we were gonna try to get the dog out of the water”.

When the ferry’s captain, Ronnie Rock, spotted the dog he immediately wanted to save her, but the size of the boat posed difficulties.

Fortunately, the fishermen were able to grab the dog and bring him on board.
