A three-day search for two mariners and their dog ended when the trio were found in their sailboat by a Chinese fuel tanker 214 miles east of Delaware, the U.S. Coast Guard announced Tuesday.
Kevin Hyde, 65, and Joe Ditomasso, 76, and their dog, Minnie, have been found safe after their 30-foot sailboat veered off course and were lost at sea for ten days before being rescued.
The boat, which was out of fuel and power, was spotted by a tanker off Delaware, the Coast Guard said. The men caught the crew's attention by waving their arms and flag.
