Officers Dave Wardell and Finn Police dog Finn and owner's bond 'unbreakable' Published 27 August 2022 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-62671969 IMAGE SOURCE,DAVE WARDELL Image caption, Finn the police dog was treated as a hero after saving his handler's life A recent study by Japanese researchers suggests dogs can cry tears of joy when their owners come home after a day at work. The tears are thought to deepen the bond between dogs and their owners. But how deep can that bond become? PC Dave Wardell has an unbreakable bond with ex-police dog Finn, a German shepherd. In 2016, at the age of seven, Finn was almost stabbed to death while protecting PC Wardell, his handler, from an armed suspect in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. IMAGE SOURCE,DAVE WARDELL Image caption, PC Dave Wardell photographed Finn at the surgery - he thought this might be the last time he saw his beloved dog alive Finn had been trained by, and lived with the officer since he was a puppy. PC Wardell is in no doubt that Finn saved his life on that fateful night almost six years ago, and frequently refers to the dog as a "hero". The pair have been together "almost 24 hours a day - so the bond is very strong," he says. PC Wardell saw Finn through his emergency surgery on the night of the attack, and slept next to the dog as he recovered at the family home. A teenager was sentenced to youth custody for the attack. The assault on the dog was dealt with by the law as "criminal damage", IMAGE SOURCE,DAVE WARDELL Image caption, Dave Wardell slept beside the dog during its recovery Finn retired from duty at the age of eight in April 2017, having recovered from his near fatal injuries. Since then he has continued to live as part of the policeman's family. Stabbed police dog 'still thinks he's on the job' Police dog Finn's law comes into force 'I begged the vet to save my boy' PC Wardell, who is still serving, is in no doubt about the strength of the bond between an owner and dog and was not surprised to see the findings of the study. However, he said: "I'm not sure I've ever seen Finn cry - but he's very squeaky and very happy to see his 'dad'. "We're so bonded we both get very excited, and you can tell by his whole body that he is so happy. "If Finn can't come on holiday with us, I don't go - and my family have come to understand that." IMAGE SOURCE,DAVE WARDELL Image caption, The pair spend every minute they can with each other The bond between a retired police dog and his owner is so strong, he believes the animal has other powers. "He blows the family away - if you believe in a sixth sense, then he has it," says PC Wardell. "I work different hours and different shifts all the time, but Finn knows when I'm on my way home. "My wife and the children have messaged to ask if I'm on my way because Finn is getting excited. "I can be up to 40 miles away, but can say 'yes, I'm just getting in the car, now'. "We're still best buddies," he says. "He knows what I'm thinking and there's no-one I'd rather spend time with. "You can't ever break that bond."

The dog required emergency surgery, but he returned to duty eleven weeks later. The case received widespread media coverage and initiated a popular campaign to improve legal protection for animals in public service,

So let's get this straight, a weirdo school board member dressed in cat's ears with green stripes in her hair says teachers with Christian values are not safe???? And it is bad for teachers to demonstrate Christian values at school... but it's OK to tell kids they can change their sex at will and show kids drag queen shows and other porn books and materials??? What about this cannot I not understand??? --Ginny Arizona school board member Tamillia Valenzuela blasted Arizona Christian University over its Biblical beliefs during a Washington Elementary School District meeting. https://www.foxnews.com/media/arizona-school-board-member-district-should-reject-hiring-teachers-with-christian-values-not-safe Arizona school board member says district should reject hiring teachers with Christian values: 'Not...safe' Tamillia Valenzuela said board should consider 'where our values lie' By Hannah Grossman | Fox News Facebook Twitter Flipboard Comments Print Email Arizona school board member blasts Christian beliefs during meeting Arizona's Washington Elementary School District board member Tamillia Valenzuela blasted a Christian university over its beliefs. An Arizona school board member wearing cat ears during a meeting said she would oppose having a contract with a Christian university over the religious and Biblical beliefs they espouse, Fox News Digital found. The Washington Elementary School District, which serves students in the Phoenix and Glendale areas, had an ongoing contract with Arizona Christian University for five years, enabling their student teachers to be placed in its schools for field experience. The contract opened up opportunities for recruitment and hiring. On Feb. 23, the board agreed on a motion to dissolve the partnership with the Christian university. They did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether they have a bias against Christian beliefs. During the meeting, school board member Tamillia Valenzuela blasted the university over its Christian beliefs and said she was "disheartened" to learn about the contract that had been ongoing for five years. Valenzuela describes herself as "a bilingual, disabled, neurodivergent Queer Black Latina… who loves a good hot wing (but only with the right ranch) and things that sparkle." "While I full-heartedly believe in the religious freedom and people being able to practice whatever faith that they have, I had some concerns regarding looking at this particular institution," she said. "And I think it's a really good time for us to take a moment and really pause about where our values lie." SCHOOL LIBRARIAN PRIVATELY DEFENDS PORNOGRAPHIC BOOK ON 'SEX PARTIES' BY INVOKING HOLY BIBLE: 'SLIPPERY SLOPE' "And while I understand we are currently in a situation across the nation that we have a teacher shortage and recruiting… is really difficult," she said. "My concerns, [is] when I go to Arizona Christian University's website, [ they are] ‘committed to Jesus Christ, accomplishing his will and advancements on earth as in Heaven.’" Washington Elementary School Board voted for a motion to dissolve their partnership with Arizona Christian University. (Fox News Digital) "Part of their values is... [to] ‘transform the culture with truth by promoting the Biblically-informed values that are foundational to Western civilization, including the centrality of family, traditional sexual morality, and lifelong marriage between one man and one woman,'" she said. "I want to know how bringing [teachers] from an institution that is ingrained in their values so directly brings impact to three of your board members who are a part of the LGBT community." She added that the board recently added their pronouns at the dias as a solidarity move with the LGBT community. ALASKA BOARD MEMBERS BRAWL OVER SILENCING DAD EXPOSING BOOK ON KINKS AND SEXTING: 'I'M GOING TO INTERRUPT YOU' "Because if we're bringing people in whose mission [has]… been with their institution's education that very plainly on their website... that above all else, it was to influence people to Biblically-minded.

Long-lost Ironton ship is found in Lake Huron after eluding hunters for more than a century.
The Ironton, a cargo ship that sank in 1894 and has evaded shipwreck hunters for more than a century, has finally been found in Lake Huron. https://www.foxnews.com/us/ironton-shipwreck-found-lake-huron-thunder-bay-national-marine-sanctuary Long-lost Ironton ship is found in Lake Huron after eluding hunters for more than a century NOAA finds cargo ship after fatal collision in September 1894 By Greg Norman | Fox News Facebook Twitter Flipboard Comments Print Email Researchers in Michigan have announced the discovery Wednesday of a "magnificently preserved" shipwreck hundreds of feet below the surface of Lake Huron whose location had "remained a mystery for over 120 years." The 191-foot cargo vessel Ironton -- which sank following a collision in 1894 in an area called "Shipwreck Alley" – has been located within the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association. Only two members of the ship’s seven-man crew survived the disaster by clinging onto floating wreckage in Lake Huron’s frigid waters. The other five sailors, including Ironton’s captain, died after getting into the vessel’s lifeboat, which the crew was unable to detach from the ship during the chaos. An incredible new image released Wednesday eerily shows the lifeboat still attached to the Ironton at the bottom of the lake more than a century later. A lifeboat is seen attached to the wreckage of the Ironton at the bottom of Lake Huron. (AP/Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary) WEATHER-BEATEN FLOTSAM WASHES UP ON NY SHORELINE AFTER TROPICAL STORM, SOME BELIEVE IT’S PART OF SS SAVANNAH "The discovery illustrates how we can use the past to create a better future," Jeff Gray, Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary superintendent, said in a statement. "Using this cutting-edge technology, we have not only located a pristine shipwreck lost for over a century, we are also learning more about one of our nation's most important natural resources -- the Great Lakes. This research will help protect Lake Huron and its rich history." Researchers from the NOAA, the state of Michigan and the Ocean Exploration Trust nonprofit teamed up to discover the Ironton’s wreckage. "Magnificently preserved by the cold freshwater of the Great Lakes for over a century, the 191-foot Ironton rests upright with its three masts still standing," the NOAA said Wednesday in its announcement of the find. Shortly after midnight on Sept. 26, 1894, the Ironton – a schooner barge that was being pulled by the Charles J. Kershaw steamer – had its tow line cut to avoid a potential collision after the leading ship’s engine failed. "Ironton's crew found themselves suddenly adrift in the dark and at the mercy of Lake Huron's wind-blown seas," the NOAA said. "Under the direction of Captain Peter Girard, they fought to regain control of the ship, firing up the vessel's auxiliary steam engine to help set the struggling ship's sails." But despite that effort, the Ironton came into the path of the Ohio, a steamer carrying 1,000 tons of grain. TREASURE HUNTER CLAIMS FBI IS COVERING UP DISCOVERY OF CIVIL WAR-ERA GOLD WORTH MILLIONS The bow of the Ironton is seen in Lake Huron in June 2021. The NOAA says it "intends to deploy a deep-water mooring buoy at the site of Ironton to mark the shipwreck's location and help divers visit the wreck site safely." (AP/Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary) "The two vessels separated after the impact, both fatally damaged. Ironton's bow tore a 12-foot diameter hole into Ohio's wooden hull," the NOAA said. "Heavily laden with cargo, Ohio sank quickly, with all 16 crew escaping on lifeboats. Nearby ships rescued the sailors." The Ironton, meanwhile, drifted out of sight of the responding ships until it succumbed to its fate. The NOAA says the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and partners first found the Ohio in Lake Huron in 2017. Two years later, its researchers went on a mapping expedition with the Ocean Exploration Trust – an organization founded by deep-sea explorer Robert Ballard, who discovered the wreck of the Titanic in

A dog and his soldier: Lieutenant's prayers answered after beloved pup he bonded with overseas is rescued
A dog and his soldier: Lieutenant's prayers answered after beloved pup he bonded with overseas is rescued https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/dog-soldier-lieutenants-prayers-answered-beloved-pup-bonded-overseas-rescued A dog and his soldier: Lieutenant's prayers answered after beloved pup he bonded with overseas is rescued U.S. Army First Lt. Tad said leaving Gus behind felt like 'betrayal' until Paws of War stepped in By Angelica Stabile | Fox News Facebook Twitter Flipboard Comments Print Email National Guard soldier welcomes home German shepherd rescued during deployment Staff Sgt. Andrea Taulton tells Fox News Digital about the "magical moment" when her dog, Axel, finally made it home to her in West Virginia after she helped save his life. A soldier’s prayers for his best buddy to join him here at home apparently have been heard. A stray dog found overseas by U.S. Army First Lt. Tad (full name withheld upon request) has been successfully rescued and brought to safety here in the U.S. New York nonprofit Paws of War answered the soldier’s call earlier this month to retrieve the starving and abandoned pup named Gus. DOG IN DANGER REUNITED WITH US SOLDIER FOR FIRST TIME SINCE THEY BONDED OVERSEAS: ‘MAGICAL MOMENT’ At the start of his deployment, Tad first found Gus, who is about two years old, searching for food near the overseas Army base. The pair immediately connected — and became inseparable after several months of bonding, Paws of War told Fox News Digital. U.S. Army First Lt. Tad found Gus, a stray dog, searching for food near his deployment base overseas. (Paws of War) However, Tad was assigned a deployment requiring him to relocate — so he’d soon have to leave behind his furry best friend. "I sat with Gus before I left the old base and my heart just sank," Tad wrote in a statement shared with Fox News Digital. "I prayed hard that he would be OK, but walking away for the last time haunted me." "I could tell he knew something was different, but he had no idea he was about to be alone again in a place [where] so many animals perish without someone to care for them." US NAVY SAILORS REUNITE WITH THE DOGS THEY RESCUED FROM NEAR-CERTAIN DEATH IN THE MIDDLE EAST Leaving Gus behind involved "more guilt than I could take," Tad said in his statement. "He had helped me through deployment and [had] given me something to look forward to each day, and now I was about to betray him," he said. Lt. Tad and Gus became inseparable after spending several months together. (Paws of War) "I prayed hard that he would be OK, but walking away for the last time haunted me," he continued. The heart-wrenching goodbye on Jan. 2 of this year led Tad to reach out to New York-based Paws of War for help. The organization was quick to tackle the complicated task of rescuing Gus from "dangerous" territory (exact location withheld upon request). US SOLDIER CARES FOR INJURED DOG OVERSEAS, NOW HOPES TO BRING HIM HOME: ‘BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER’ When Paws of War’s overseas rescuers finally tracked Gus down, he was found alone on the base, still watching out in the distance "expecting his soldier to return," the group noted. "I can't wait to see him again." Gus was recently delivered to Tad’s family in Indianapolis, Indiana — where the dog will soon be reunited with his soldier and friend at the end of Tad's deployment this summer. Paws of War located Gus near Tad's earlier Army base. It seemed the lonely dog was watching and waiting for his soldier to show up. (Paws of War) "The relief of knowing Gus is safe is indescribable," Tad said. "I truly didn't think it would happen and that was so hard to deal with." He added, "Now I can't wait to see him again knowing he'll never have to be alone another day in his life. I'm grateful beyond words." Paws of War’s "War-Torn Pups and Cats" program focuses on bringing animals rescued by soldiers overseas to the U.S. to be reunited with the men and women who saved them. "We couldn't be more thrilled for Gus and Lieutenant Tad, and we thank everyone who makes what we do possible." "This is a perfect example of why

Budweiser Clydesdales OK Following Scary Hitch Accident May 14, 2014Lorraine JacksonUncategorized28 Comments At the Western Heritage Classic in Abilene, Texas last weekend, an eight-horse team of Budweiser Clydesdales was performing their iconic hitch maneuvering when an accident occurred. https://www.horsenation.com/2014/05/14/budweiser-clydesdales-ok-following-scary-hitch-accident/ It appears from the footage taken from the grandstands that at around the 4-minute mark, one of the horses simply tripped, which caused a disastrous and very frightening-looking pileup of several of the 2,000-pound animals. (Warning, the fall is a bit alarming and hard to watch.) To the credit of the handlers, trainers, and hitch team that make these horses what they are, and to the credit of the horses themselves, not one of the team panicked, thrashed, or bolted throughout the unhitching and detangling process. Instead, the geldings calmly waited as the wagon team freed each horse one at a time from their 130-pound harnesses. The announcer kept the audience calm, and salvaged the exhibition’s conclusion by telling the crowd, “You have just witnessed a miracle.” It is incredible and fortunate that every horse walked out on his own four feet, though horsemen may be more inclined to chalk it up to years of high safety standards, superb training, and countless hours of preparation for just such a calamity by the Budweiser Clydesdale Team. A public relations representative for Budweiser provided an update that none of the horses was seriously injured, and all are expected to return to the hitch. Go Budweiser Cyldesdales.

When the animal finally tries to rise to its feet, the crowd roars their encouragement, but it did not quite make it. After the horse managed to rise, the iconic Clydesdales gracefully left the stadium in San Antonio. (Model Horse Tack School / AMAZING ANIMALS+ /TMX) During a second attempt, the massive horse managed to regain its footing after the handler removed the heavy harness from the horse. Once the horse rose up, the animal received a thunderous applause from the audience. "He is going to totally examine that animal," the announcer shared. "They will look over the rest of them that were in that hitch as well. They are beautiful." Following the debacle, animals welfare organizations criticized the beer company for using tight-fitting harnesses during horse shows and removing the horse's tailbone. https://tinyurl.com/ycyvubd4 According to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), investigators went to the official breeding facility for the Budweiser Clydesdales. "We uncovered that Anheuser-Busch Companies LLC, which produces Budweiser beer, amputates the tailbones of the famed Clydesdales—primarily so they’ll look a certain way as they pull the wagon." PETA shared on its website. Clydesdales use their tails for balance, mobility, and communication, PETA shared. The removal of the tailbone is prohibited in 10 U.S. states, unless medically necessary, and in several countries. The San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo kicked off on Feb. 9 and runs through Feb. 26. The iconic Clydesdales have become synonymous with the Budweiser brand, including their annual Super Bowl commercials. Budweiser did not immediately respond to F

America 'unrecognizable' and on the brink of collapse, experts warn: 'Turning on our own legacy'
Fox Nation's 'American Requiem' dissects America's torn cultural fabric that faces a steady decline in light of inflation, division and foreign affairs. https://www.foxnews.com/media/america-unrecognizable-brink-collapse-experts-warn-turning-own-legacy America 'unrecognizable' and on the brink of collapse, experts warn: 'Turning on our own legacy' Is America on the brink of collapse? Fox Nation's 'American Requiem' showcases the country's decline Fox Nation's 'American Requiem' showcases the ways in which America has become less civilized over time. Is America dying before our eyes? All societies eventually collapse – from the classical civilizations of Ancient Rome and Greece to the ever-alarming decline of modern America, could the past be hinting at what's in store? With skyrocketing inflation, political division, social unrest and a relentless effort to wipe away the fundamental principles of the nation, historians and scholars in Fox Nation's "American Requiem" series offer an elegy for what the country used to be and warn of what it has become. "The America of the 1980s has pretty much vanished," Manhattan Institute senior fellow Chris Rufo said. "We're now entering a new period of unprecedented economic, social and cultural change." CAL THOMAS: AMERICA'S EXPIRATION DATE – WILL IT COLLAPSE IN 2026? Kenosha County Sherriff and police officers in riot gear form a line behind a burning truck during demonstrations against the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin on August 24, 2020. (Photo by KAMIL KRZACZYNSKI/AFP via Getty Images) "We're in a very bizarre and unprecedented situation in our civilization today, which is – we are turning on our own legacy and declaring it evil, oppressive, without any redeeming characteristics…" Manhattan Institute senior fellow Heather MacDonald said in the special. "There's [sic] some days I wake up and read the news and look around me and say, ‘I don’t recognize this country anymore.'" Steven Hayward, a resident scholar at the University of California, Berkley added. OPINION: BIDEN'S CATASTROPHIC COLLAPSE OF AMERICAN LEADERSHIP The three-part series dissects America's cultural fabric and the tears that it has suffered, picking out the pivotal changes that signal the nation's exponential decline in the last 30 years that created the country we see today. Residents of Loudoun County, Virginia, helped make critical race theory a national conversation in 2021. Education remains one of the key issues for many voters. (REUTERS/Evelyn Hockstein) Among the devastating changes, the Fox Nation special explores, are unbearable living costs, anti-American "woke" sentimentality infiltrating the nation's public schools and universities, riots in the streets of major U.S. cities, and the emboldening of the nation's greatest adversaries, including Russia and China. "The gas prices, the housing crisis, the crisis with education, with healthcare… [it's] one crisis after another," retired Vanderbilt and Princeton professor Dr. Carol Swain said. TUCKER CARLSON: THE HOMELESS CRISIS IS A SYMPTOM OF OUR SOCIETY COLLAPSING IN REAL TIME A California homeless encampment showcases the severity of America's homeless crisis plaguing major U.S. cities. (Dai Sugano/Bay Area News Group) Each of the series' three episodes focuses on an issue that contributes to the disastrous recipe for further decline - including crime, division, demoralization, and how the way each element continues to run riot could signal a possible collapse of American society as a whole. "[People] have lost the hope that the future for America will be brighter than its past," Heritage Foundation President Dr. Kevin Roberts lamented. "The chain of civilization is only as strong as its weakest link, and all the values have to be passed on in their entirety from one generation to the other," said historian and Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson.

The Polk County Sheriff's Office says that 23-year-old Martin Gonzalez-Garcia and 22-year-old Ashializ Roldan-Oscasio were in the process of burglarizing a home on Dec. 29, 2022 when one of them called 911 and asked for help with moving some of their belongings. Deputies said that the couple was in the residence because they were looking for a place to sleep for the night. "Post Miranda, Martin stated on a recorded statement he did commit the burglary at the Dollar General because he needed to get items to sell it to make money," an arrest affidavit states. "Martin stated he knew what he did was wrong, but needed the money. Martin stated he knew the residence was not his and did not have permission to be in, but had to get inside to get out of the cold."

"And they are welcome to stay there all weekend long. The Polk Pokey is much better than New York anyway."
