About a month after Mandy Iworrigan's dog Nanuq disappeared during a visit to Savoonga, people in Wales 150 miles away posted pictures online of a lost dog. “My dad texted me and said, ‘There’s a dog that looks like Nanuq in Wales,’” Iworrigan said.
In this photo provided by Mandy Iworrigan is Nanuq, in the middle with Brooklyn Faith, after the 1-year-old Australian shepherd was returned to Gambell, Alaska, on April 6, 2023, after it disappeared for a month and walked on the Bering Sea ice 150 miles to Wales, Alaska. On the left is Zoey with Starlight and on the right is Ty with Kujo.
Mandy Iworrigan, Nanuq’s owner who lives in Gambell, Alaska, and her family were visiting Savoogna, another St. Lawrence Island community in the Bering Strait, last month when Nanuq disappeared with their other family dog, Starlight, Starlight turned up a few weeks later, but Nanuq, which means polar bear in Siberian Yupik, was nowhere to be found.
“I have no idea why he ended up in Wales. Maybe the ice shifted while he was hunting,” Iworrigan said. “I’m pretty sure he ate leftovers of seal or caught a seal. Probably birds, too. He eats our Native foods. He’s smart.”

Pet arrives home, dog-tired, after Alaskan sea-ice odysseyA 1-year-old Australian shepherd took an epic trek across 150 miles of frozen Bering Sea ice before being safely returned to his home in Alaska. Nanuq wandered off from an Alaska island in the Bering Strait. He showed up a month later in the Bering Sea coastal community of Wales, on Alaska's western coast. People posting pictures of the dog online led to a happy reunion last week for Nanuq and his owner Mandy Iworrigan. She says he may have ended up in Wales because the ice shifted while he was hunting. Except for a swollen leg with large bite marks, Nanuq is in pretty good health.
