Snickers, the cocker spaniel rescued as a puppy after a boat wreck left him to fend for himself on an island in 2008, was euthanized Monday, March 5, 2018, after suffering from congestive heart failure. 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.
