Animal rescuers in Canada have recovered seven abandoned puppies from an uninhabited island and will be naming the dogs after the main characters from the hit TV series, Gilligan’s Island.
The castaway litter of puppies, believed to be four months old, were reported to Manitoba, Canada’s Norway House Animal Rescue on July 30, after being spotted on an island by a boater named Junior Cook and his friend, CBC reported.

Rescuers returned to the island in Manitoba, Canada, on Wednesday to pick up the dogs
The puppies were said to have been ‘terrified’ of humans at first, but after being fed, they quickly grew accustomed to having people around them
The dogs were picked up and are on their way to a Winnipeg, Manitoba, shelter
They are expected to be put up for adoption after they’ve had appropriate medical care
The next day, Cook and a friend motored out to the island and discovered the seven puppies. He then gave the hungry pups the food he had in his boat and contacted the animal rescue organization.
