What was supposed to be a nice outing off the coast of Noank when Clare Shaw and her family were boating along the Connecticut shoreline turned into a grievous one.
On June 26, their 8-month-old Shiba Inu puppy got out of his harness and fell into the ocean.
“After turning around and back tracking for hours, having the coast guard involved, and everyone on shore looking we weren’t able to find our puppy who we thought didn’t know how to swim,” Shaw told WTIC.
Therefore, the only thing Shaw could think was that her pup lost his life.
“My family came home and we felt defeated, we packed up his things and lit a candle in his cage and assumed our boy lost his life drowning,” she said.
Still, trying to be a little hopeful, Shaw took to Facebook, asking if anyone had seen her dog, Ryder.
