A dog has made a miraculous escape by swimming to shore after a boat capsized but a desperate search is still trying to locate the pet's owner.

Darren Huber, 49, and the pooch headed out of Sydney Harbour to test drive a 3.5m runabout with the vessel's owner Forest Kousal, 25.

But at about 3am on Saturday the boat capsized in rough seas off Dobroyd Head near the entrance of the harbour, sending the two men and the dog into the water.

The dog was washed away immediately but both men clung to the boat for hours before Mr Huber drifted away. 

Mr Kousal was spotted by a local fisherman shortly before 4.50am on Saturday and was pulled to safety.

But to the surprise of search and rescue personnel, the dog also made it back to shoreside cave after spending about seven hours doggy-paddling in the water.
