An Australian shepherd dog who took an epic 150 mile journey across sea ice, during which he was bitten by a seal or polar bear has returned to his family's home in Alaska.
The year-old pup, Nanuq, disappeared while Mandy Iworrigan, from Gambell, Alaska, and her family were visiting Savoonga, another St Lawrence Island community in the Bering Strait.
Nanuq disappeared with other family dog, Starlight, who ended up turning up just a few weeks later.
For Nanuq, though, it was a bit more of an adventure.
Around a month after he went missing, people in Wales, around 150 miles north-east of Savoonga, on Alaska's west coast, began posting pictures online of a lost dog.
"My dad texted me and said, 'There's a dog that looks like Nanuq in Wales'," Ms Iworrigan said, according to The National.
So she reactived her Facebook account to see if it could be her pooch, whose name means polar bear in Siberian Yupik.
"I was like, 'No freakin' way! That's our dog! What is he doing in Wales?'"
Since he's can't tell his tale, the exact events of Nanuq's voyage will likely remain a mystery - though he did return with some large bite marks from an unidentified animal.
Mr Iworrigan believes her pet was smart enough to fend for himself. She said: "I have no idea why he ended up in Wales. Maybe the ice shifted while he was hunting.
"I'm pretty sure he ate leftovers of deal or caught a seal. Probably birds, too. He eats our Native foods. He's smart."

In order to get her four-legged friend back to Gambell, Mrs Iworrigan used airline points on a regional air service.
Not just any flight, it just so happened to be a charter reportedly transporting athletes for the Being Strait School District's Native Youth Olympics tournament.
The mum filmed the happy reunion when the plane touched down at the air strip in Savoonga, as she and daughter Brooklyn shrieked with joy.
The pup appeared in pretty good health, bite mark and swollen leg aside.
Talking about the bite wound, Mrs Iworrigan said: "Wolverine, seal, small nanuq, we don't know, because it's like a really big bite."
