This is Shane! He braved tsunami waters to find his owner

In Sendai, tsunami warden Mr Kamata tried to return for his dog — a    large pedigree Akita — after warning neighbours about the incoming    wave, but found his way blocked by the churning water.
“I thought there was no way he could have survived. It was terribly sad,” Kamata said.
But  later that night, as he sheltered in a refuge with hundreds of   other  residents, Kamata heard that a dog had been found outside.
“It was  him. He’d swum and found me. He’d ingested a lot of sea   water and kept  throwing up and I thought I was going to lose him   anyway, but he pulled  through,” Kamata said.
