The Coast Guard rescued a man and his dog from a dinghy Friday after they abandoned their burning sailboat in the Gulf of Mexico about 69 miles from Hudson. 
  
 A few hours earlier, the man contacted the Coast Guard via radio and reported the boat was disabled and drifting since Wednesday, although he had food and water. 
  
 About 4:30 p.m., the man reported the boat had caught fire and he and his dog had abandoned ship and boarded the sailboat’s dinghy, the Coast Guard said. 
  
 Coast Guard Sector St. Petersburg sent an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew from Air Station Clearwater and a 45-foot Response Boat-Medium boatcrew from Sand Key. 
  
 Smoke from the sailboat helped lead the helicopter to the scene about an hour later. The crew hoisted the man and his dog and transported them to the air station in Clearwater, where paramedics were waiting. 
  
 The man and dog were hospitalized and doing well, officials said. 
  
 “He contacted us via radio as soon as his situation deteriorated, was wearing a life jacket when he was rescued, and we were able to recover him safely.” said Lt. Cmdr. Gabe Somma, public affairs officer for the Coast Guard’s Seventh District. “This case really highlights just how critically important it is to have the proper lifesaving equipment onboard. 
  
 Somma said boaters should have lifejackets, flares, a VHF radio and an electronic position indicating radio beacon. ||||| CLEARWATER, FL (WFLA) – US Coast Guard rescue crews saved a man and his dog after days on the water. The man was sailing from New Orleans to Tampa. 
  
 The man told the Coast Guard his sailboat was disabled for three days before it caught fire Friday afternoon. “When I saw the smoke I knew that we found what we were looking so that actually made it a little bit easier. We were probably about 10 nautical miles away when I started to see the smoke in the distance,” aircraft commander Lt. Chanel Lee said. 
  
 “There was a lot of smoke and not much left of the boat but it definitely made it easier for us to spot. He contacted the Coast Guard. He put his life jacket and gave a good position to where we could locate him,” said Erick Leib with the Coast Guard. 
  
 Rescue crews found the dog huddled in a blanket. “He kept the dog close to his chest,” Leib said. 
  
 Crews didn’t initially know how big the dog was. “Is it going to be a problem? Is it going to freak out on you? But it was a very small dog, and I just told him to hold on very tight to it,” Leib said. 
  
 The man and the dog were both taken to the hospital for treatment because they inhaled smoke before abandoning the ship. “Once we’ve got them in the helicopter and we know we’ve saved someone and we also did it in a safe manner, it’s a feeling of relief and a feeling of excitement. Your adrenaline is going for sure, but it’s an exciting and rewarding feeling,” Leib said.

A man and his dog have a new best friend in the United States Coast Guard, after it picked them up after days at sea, using smoke pouring from their burning sailboat to home in on their position. As WFLA reports, the man's sailboat, which he was sailing from New Orleans to Tampa, became disabled last week, stranding him at sea for three days before it caught fire on Friday. "He contacted us via radio as soon as his situation deteriorated, was wearing a life jacket when he was rescued, and we were able to recover him safely," a Coast Guard rep tells the St. Petersburg Tribune. “There was a lot of smoke and not much left of the boat but it definitely made it easier for us to spot," adds another Coast Guard official. The man and dog evacuated to the boat's dinghy after the fire broke out; "He kept the dog close to his chest," says the latter official.
