Churro the Burro returns after VIP Ferry Adventures

0:03 Caalaroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with five and a half a good News stories. Good news for me. I found the dogs. So what happens is I record a bunch of these in a row. Once I'm down in the studio. It just makes more sense to knock out a whole bunch of them. And I had let the dog out. One of the two dogs, the s Oller dog, was out in the yard all morning. He was hanging and then I let the other one out. And I come down here and I'm recording a bunch and I'm like, oh, yeah, the dogs are out there. I hope they didn't run away. And I went upstairs and the back doors wide open, and I'm like, huh, they're not out here. Who let them in? They apparently somehow let themselves in. One's sitting comfortably in the crate and the other is in the comfy chair. So that's your half story. Meanwhile, in British Columbia, a five year old boy has been reunited with his favorite stuffed toy after an online search turned the missing donkey into his social media celebrity. The pink stuff junkey was discovered aboard a BC ferry after a trip between Victoria and Pender Island.

1:03 Rather than simply placing the toy in the Lost and Found, the ferry staff had been sharing photos of its adventures online. The plush donkey, which picked up the name Churo the Burrow, was photograph visiting parts of the ferry that passengers rarely see, including the bridge, the engine room, and the onboard gift shop. Social media picked us up. That's when Abigail noticed the toy belonged to her son Alfie. She said the family hadn't even realized that the donkey had gone missing. She told the CTV, We're really grateful. This is a very special experience for them to have a peek behind the curtain. The toy is keeping its name and had previously been known simply as Donkey. It will now officially answer to Turo the Burrow. Oh Boy, an Illinois maintenance worker, got an unexpected stay at work after becoming stranded one hundred and thirty feet above the ground inside a towering gas station sign. This happened on I fifty five in Wilmington.

1:51 The guy got up there, he took a boom you know, a boom lift, and the boom lift malfunctioned, so the guy was trapped inside the roadside sign at around eleven o'clock Tuesday morning. The fireman responded, but there was a problem. Their tallest ladder can only go about one hundred feet, and as I told you, the guy was one hundred and thirty feet above the ground. Emergency crews used a drone to check in on them while they figured this out. The solution was a replacement boom was brought in from a nearby Juliet under an Illinois State Police escort. They got him down around four o'clock in the afternoon, so he spent five hours up there in the sign. It's been a hot summer and in Japan one company is hoping people will cool off by stepping inside what they call a human refrigerator. The new device is about the size of a typical Japanese vending machine and is designed to cool one person at a time inside. The temperature's fifty nine degrees chilled air is directed as the users head necked, shoulders and back to help lower body temperature quickly.

2:49 If you would like one of these personal air conditioned rooms, they're selling for about ninety three hundred dollars or you could go this route. Congratulations to Damien, who has set the record for longest time spent in direct full body contact with snow. Damien remained buried for two hours, twelve minutes and twelve seconds during an event in Poland. Now that was back in February, not in the middle of the summer. He had previously set the Guinness record for longest duration of full body contact with ice. He lasted with the ice five hours, one minute and thirty two seconds. Again, snow two hours, twelve minutes and around this time of year sounds like a pretty good idea. In Ohio, a shelter kitten who couldn't walk got a second chance thanks to a homemade wheelchair built from hot wheels, toy cars, and a little creativity. Gelato arrived at Cincinnati Animal Care with a spinal injury that left his back legs two weeks to support his weight. He couldn't stand or walk on his own. Vets were encouraged because he could still move his legs and ad normal ball and bladder function.

3:48 The problem was Geelatto was too small for any of the mobility devices the shelter already had. That led Mallory to build one herself. She told the local news he really wanted to play and walk around, so I used to what I had. What she had was cardboard rulers, some hot wheels, toy cars, and plenty of duct tape. She built a custom wheelchair that allowed Gelatto to move around on his own. She explained on Instagram.
