Tia

PORT MCNEIL, BRITISH COLUMBIA

TIA, a six-year-old Labrador, owned by Sean Lingl, saved the lives of her owner and his fishing companion when a leak in Sean’s small dingy caused the boat to capsize. Weighed down by bulky clothing and equipment the men could only cling to the side of the boat. Tia, despite having only three legs, pulled on the mooring rope attached to the boat and guided them through the freezing, rough water to shore.
