"Snickers the Sea Dog" is barely more than a pup, but he's already an old salt.
Even in dog years, Snickers has lived a lot of life.
In his estimated eight months of puppyhood, the brown-and-white cocker spaniel has:
• Spent 95 days adrift on a 48-foot boat.
• Survived four months on Fanning Island, a tiny atoll about 1,000 miles south of Hawai'i, after being abandoned by his original owners when they were rescued in December by a cargo vessel that couldn't allow the pup on board.
