"UNADOPTABLE"
DOG NOW A HERO
Melissa Lambert of Waynesboro, Pa., really
didn't want a dog. She and her husband were busy enough taking care of three
children, ages three to eight. But then she met Edgar, a Treeing Walker
Coonhound who turned up
at the local humane society. She adopted
the 4-year-old who had spent his life on the streets and was once labeled by a
shelter in West Virginia as "unadoptable."
Months later, the Lamberts are calling Edgar a
hero for scaring off a man who entered their home looking for a child to
abduct. It was night. Everyone was asleep when the man broke through a
first-floor window on April 28. Edgar is a pretty calm dog, and was sleeping
with the couple when he suddenly "went nuts." He was in a pure rage, and could not be quieted. That's when they heard
footsteps on the kitchen floor downstairs. The intruder fled, and was arrested the next day. He
admitted he was trolling the neighborhood
looking for unsupervised children. But Edgar refused to let that happen. When
the couple explained to police how the dog had "started losing his mind," they could hardly believe it.
Turn up: ‘Aparèixer’
Go nuts: ‘Tornar-se boig’

DEAF DOG LEARNS SIGN
LANGUAGE
Emerson is a good dog, but sadly he's deaf, so
he seemed unable to find a "forever home." Now he has a wonderful
life, thanks to his new owner, Nick Abbot, who is also deaf. They pair have bonded since Nick,
who is from Maine, adopted Emerson as a 12-week-old puppy and taught him some
sign language.
Nick learned about Emerson through a Facebook
post about him. He went to see the pup, and says "He came right to me at
the door and sat right away at my feet and stayed there. So you can tell he kind of picked me. I knew we'd get along and understand
each other pretty good." Even though they can't hear each other, they are
able to communicate. If Nick signs the letter S, Nick sits down. If he sweeps
one hand sideways, Nick lies down. Over the years, who know how many signs he'll
learn?
Have bond: ‘Unir-se’
So you can tell he kind of picked me: ‘Així
que pots ben dir que, d’alguna manera, ell em va escollir a mi’

"DO YOU KNOW THIS
LOST DOG?"
Jason Gasparik found a lost dog wandering near
Ballantyne Commons Parkway in Charlotte, North Carolina, recently. He checked
it for a microchip, and found one, but sadly it was not registered and no data
was available. But Jason didn't
give up. He posted information about the lost dog on his social media
accounts and several lost pet Facebook pages.
When none of his efforts found the dog's owner,
Jason went the extra mile,
standing with the canine on the corner near where she was found, holding a sign
that said "Do you know this lost dog?" During the two days Jason stood by the street, the canine's
owner, Ed, was driving around looking for his lost lab named Indy. Because of a back injury,
Ed could not walk easily, but he'd stop his car and ask folks if they'd seen
his dog. When he showed his photo of Indy to a lady walking her own lab, she
remembered Jason's social posts and his hours on the street corner. She
connected the two men, and Indy was happy to be reunited with her rightful
owner.
Do give up: ‘Renunciar’
Go the extra mile: To be willing to make a special effort to do or achieve something.
Lab: In this
case refers is a short for Labrador retriever.
