Stranded dog rescued from Michigan island By April 29 (UPI) -- A dog spotted stranded on a Michigan island by a passing angler was rescued by animal control officers using a trap. Robert Debolt said he and some friends were participating Sunday in the Freeland Walleye Festival when he spotted a dog wandering on Green Point Island, where the Saginaw River branches into the Tittabawassee and Shiawassee Rivers.

Debolt said he was concerned about the dog's ability to survive on its own on the island, so he alerted Saginaw County Animal Care and Control to the canine's plight.
