A cocker spaniel named “Snickers” was rescued from Fanning Island 1,000 miles south of Hawaii after he was abandoned by his original owners when they were shipwrecked on the island. Summerlin resident Jack Joslin read about the dog’s plight in a sailing magazine and contacted the Hawaiian Humane Society in 2008 to see if he could rescue the dog.
