Thousands of rubber duck expected to land on the coast of New England

Thousands of rubber duck expected to land on the coast of New England.The ducks fell overboard from a container ship from China to Seattle during a storm in 1992. They floated along the Alaskan coast, reaching the Bering Strait in 1995. Once they were trapped by slow moving ice and they broke through it in three years. According to oceanographers, those ducks have traveled for thirty-two thousands miles.

During their long voyage through three oceans, scientists have tracked their progress - and say it has taught them valuable lessons about surface currents.
They finally landed the coast of New England in 2003.

Little Black was a homeless dog.He lived around my neighborhood. He came to our house during mealtime for food. We got used to him as a family member. Later, he started to leave home in the early morning and back at late night. Then he was gone a week. Once he left and got hurt back after a month. I started to worry about him, and then one day, he disappeared.

I should set up a mini camera on his neck to follow his adventure. What kind of sensory in his eyes? What is the call of the wild to attract him leaving us? Was it a solitary journey or free happiness?
