Nanuq, a 1-year-old Australian shepherd, made it from St. Lawrence Island to the community of Wales and was gone nearly a month before Facebook posts helped reunite him with his family in Gambell.

Iworrigan, who lives in Gambell on St. Lawrence Island, had already been through a bit of a saga with one of her family’s other dogs a few weeks before. While she was visiting Savoonga in March with her kids, two of the family’s three dogs, Starlight and Nanuq, disappeared, along with her uncle’s dog Ghost.No luck.
But Starlight’s brother Nanuq, a 1-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to her 8-year-old daughter Brooklyn, was nowhere to be found. Iworrigan looked around town the next day, to no avail, so she left to go back home with some friends keeping an eye out. A young man and his sister in Wales watched out for Nanuq for a few days while Iworrigan figured out how to get Nanuq home. There are no direct flights from Wales to St. Lawrence Island, but there was a charter bringing some school kids from there through Nome and out to Gambell for the Bering Strait School District’s Native Youth Olympics tournament.
She and her daughter have been cleaning the wounds and were waiting on antibiotics to arrive, but are mostly just relieved that their family’s most adventurous 1-year-old member is back home safe.

But a spokesman for the bank said withdrawals can still be done through ATMs for branches that no longer handle cash at the counter. While Australia has been considering digital currency, finance experts told AFP the bank's decision was likely due to an overall decline in the public's use of physical cash.
