Thanks to the teamwork of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) and with local fishermen who answered an emergency call two weeks ago when a small French bulldog that was stranded in a small island near the Ribault River. The two fishermen used their boat to rescue the pup that had a hard time to return to the shore since the dog was in the river wet and cold. The fishermen were able to rescue the puppy and take him to land safely, The police took the puppy to Animal Care and Protective Services (ACPS) where the police officers decided to name the dog Porky, Porky has been adopted by a loving family in Jacksonville Florida. Merry Christmas to everyone. Link is cbs12.com/news/local/off...

It seems then that the real owner of that dog could not be found, and the pup was then adopted to a good family, who hopefully, will keep a firmer eye on him, and not allow him to wander off, and become lost, in cold and muddy waters.

Most likely what happened since the dog did not have a microchip on him.

Is it abandoned by his owner on the said small island? Is the island not inhabited?

I guess the dog was abandoned by his owner. I guess the island in Jacksonville was inhabited since someone called 911 to report the incident.
