Hokget officially became a pet pooch again yesterday, cradled in the arms of her new owner at Honolulu International Airport.
The nearly 3-year-old Jack Russell terrier mix, made famous by her plight aboard a derelict ocean tanker for 24 days, began her new life with Michael and Helen Kuo after completing 120 days of quarantine.
Kuo held the dog in his arms like a baby while speaking to more than 30 people from the media and public during a press conference.Hawai'i animal-lovers learned of the abandonment and the Hawaiian Humane Society led a massive effort to find the tanker and save the dog.
Hokget, whose plight made international headlines, was rescued April 26 by the crew of a tugboat sent to tow the tanker to Honolulu from about 250 miles east of Johnston Atoll.

Hokget was really a lucky dog, since many people helped out in funding the rescue. But keeping in mind that the theme of the story was that how come we pay more importance and help out a single dog out in the ocean, then humans dying in masses?
Hokget is dog name and that dog was very lucky. many people helped out in funding the rescue. i like this story and and its' kind of emotional.
