NCL America’s Pride of Aloha returned to
Honolulu from a 12 day
Hawaii cruise with an extra guest last week – an eight month old cocker spaniel named Snickers.
Snickers has spent the last four months on Fanning Island after being shipwrecked in December 2007. The Darla Jean, a 48 foot motor sailor, washed up on Fanning Island after spending 95 days drifting across the Pacific. Luckily the boat owners and their pet dog Snickers were all unharmed and after spending two weeks on the island the owners returned to their home in California on an inter-island supply ship. Unfortunately Snickers was not able to accompany them and he was left behind.
A Nevada, Las Vegas, resident Jack Joslin heard of Snicker’s plight and contacted the Hawaiian Humane Society for help in retrieving the dog from Fannings Island. The Human Society contacted NCL America who was happy to provide assistance and worked in conjunction to make arrangements for the abandoned dog to be picked up.
The Pride of Aloha was making a planned stop at Fanning Island on the 9 April and after a stop in Honolulu Snickers will be flown to his new owner in Las Vegas.
“We are pleased that we could help bring Snickers back to the United States,” said Alan Yamamoto, NCL America’s vice president of Hawaii operations.
