A Mexican tuna boat that was fishing in international waters on Monday saved an Australian seaman who had been lost at sea with his dog for three months.

Who is Timothy Lyndsay Shaddock?

The crew of the boat from the Grupomar fleet saw Timothy Lyndsay Shaddock, 54, and his disabled catamaran Aloha Toa in the Pacific around 1,200 miles from land, according to a statement from the firm.

According to the business, Shaddock and his dog Bella were in a “precarious” situation when they were discovered, without food and shelter. The tuna boat’s crew allegedly provided them with food, water, and medical care.

A lean Mr. Shaddock with an unkempt grey beard was shown in Nine News footage of his amazing rescue as he spoke to police.

When the camera crew was filming the sailor’s catamaran, which was covered in buckets and equipment, Bella, the sailor’s dog, was seen waving her tail.

Before being saved by the trawler, Mr. Shaddock claimed to have gone through an extremely trying situation and hadn’t eaten enough food for a “long time.”

Following the incident, Mr. Shaddock is beginning to eat tiny meals and is alert and talkative, according to a specialist doctor on board the trawler.

He is believed to have avoided any significant illnesses or wounds while he was trapped in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

The sailor also avoided getting sunburned by skulking beneath a canopy on his ship.

The doctor contrasted Mr. Shaddock’s precarious predicament to that of the skinny and bearded figure played by Tom Hanks in the movie Castaway, which bears an amazing likeness to the Australian sailor.

Mr. Shaddock will continue receiving medical care in Mexico as the trawler slowly makes its way there.

Tuesday’s arrival of the Oscar Meza Oregon-captained tuna boat with Shaddock and Bella was anticipated in the Pacific coast port of Manzanillo.

Grupomar’s founder and president, Antonio Suárez Gutiérrez, expressed his pride in his crew and praised them for their humanity in saving a person’s life.
