Now his saviors have to figure out who owns him. Rescuers have named the miracle dog Baltic. The dog’s odyssey came as Poland suffers through a winter cold snap, with temperatures dipping to below minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit.

The thick-furred male dog was found adrift Monday 15 miles out in the Baltic Sea by the crew of the Baltica, a Polish ship of ocean scientists carrying out research.

A firefighter in Grudziadz, on the Vistula River, said the dog was spotted Saturday floating through the city. The dog didn’t welcome three would-be owners on Wednesday and Thursday. Two others were coming to Gdynia for a possible reunion.
