Bingo the bitzer dog defied the odds and survived swimming through freezing waters and a night in the open before being found on Waiheke Island with a wag in his tail last night. He leapt off a boat – possibly to "chase some dolphins" – on Wednesday, one nautical mile offshore from Waiheke Island. Coastguard spokesman Jo Ottey said they "didn't hold much hope" for Bingo because of the very cold water temperature and choppy conditions. But Bingo did survive the sea and dragged himself up to the Man O War Vineyard where he collapsed at the door of the caretakers' house on the north east side of the island. Vineyard owner Odette Brown said caretakers heard a whimper at the back door and found Bingo "cold and a bit quivery, but in pretty good shape considering. He was an extremely lucky dog." Bingo was "a bit traumatised" since returning home.
