Dog Rescued by Fisherman in Freezing Cold Sea


Baltic, a dog who floated 75 miles in the ice flow down Poland's Vistula River, has a new owner — the seaman who rescued him.

Adam Buczynski was named his owner because of the six owners who claimed him were rejected by the dog. The ship that Adam was on during the rescue is called Baltica when he rescued Baltic.

Read this news article from the Associated Press for more info about Baltic and his rescue.

Kids Helping Haiti

All of us here at Hillwood Academic Day School have been doing bake sales all week to raise money for local dog shelters and Haiti relief.

Charlie, a 7-year-old in West London, rode five miles to raise money for the Unicef childrens' appeal to give food, water, and shelter for the people in Haiti. He was aiming to raise £500 ($1,000) but raised £110,00 ($220,000). He got sponsors from all over the world. To get all of these sponsors, he posted a blog on the Internet. (Charlie is shown in this picture from the BBC.)

Charlie isn't the only person who is trying to help Haiti, many kids around the world are and you can help, too.
