The case in summary: Brothers John Arne and Per Christian Holmlund went out to fish, but ended up saving a six-year-old dog from drowning. The dog, a Shetland sheepdog named Zavannah, had been on the run for ten days. She had disappeared from Hageseter on Dovrefjell, and had become thin, but was otherwise in good spirits. Zavannah is now back with her owner, and is in good shape despite some scrapes and tired paws. The summary is made by an AI service from OpenAi. The content is quality assured by news’s journalists before publication. Without the Holmlund brothers, the escape adventure of Zavannah (6) could have been even more tragic. As the brothers rowed out on Avsjøen on Dovrefjell on Saturday, they caught sight of a man on land waving his arms frantically. They could not hear his cry, but understood that they had to rush around an island in the water. – The body language was clear. It was about life and death, says John Arne. – Don’t let go of your eyes When the brothers were rowing around the island, they caught sight of her. A small dog of around ten kilos like a kava in a ring. – She was obviously completely exhausted, and about to drown. Only the top of the bird’s head was visible above the water. But when the rescuers approached, it must have given the dog renewed strength. Because she started swimming towards them, says John Arne. Once on board, the tiny dog was bundled up in a sweater and safely placed on Per Christian’s lap. – She had severe frostbite, and took a good look at my brother. She didn’t let go of his gaze, says John Arne. Per Christian Holmlund in the rowing boat on Avsjøen, where he and his brother John Arne usually relax with aure fishing. Photo: Privat On the run for ten days It turned out that the dog, a six-year-old Shetland sheepdog called Zavannah, had been on the run for ten days. She disappeared from Hageseter on Dovrefjell at the end of July, a disappearance that initially created a great deal of involvement with searches with volunteers and drones. Johans Nomeland is the owner of the accommodation town Dovregubbens Hall. He said that it was passers-by on the E6 who had discovered Zavannah, and tried to catch her without success. This is how Zavannah ended up in the lake. – A sunshine story Johans jumped out when he heard about the dog. At the water he caught sight of the brothers, and told them to turn around and save the dog. – She had become thin after ten days on the run, but was in good spirits, says Johans about the blink of an eye they got her ashore. – It’s a sunny story, because she jumped on the E6 and could just as easily have been run over, and she could have drowned in the water. But fortunately these two fishermen were out there, so everything worked out for this dog to be saved. So far, news has not succeeded in getting hold of the dog’s owner. She has nevertheless shared on Facebook that Zavannah has been to the vet and has lost around one kilo. She has tired, sore paws and scrapes here and there, but is otherwise in good shape.
