0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm shunning back with five good news stories. It's been cold in a lot of the country lately, and ding Dong the Dog was cold. According to Gateway Pet Guardians, ding Dong the Dog was saved from a dangerous cold snap after ding Dong the Dog rang the doorbell of a home in the community. Alicia is the executive director of Gateway Pet Guardian and told people, ding Dong shut up at the front door of the home of one of our community members, even rang the doorbell. Footage from ding Dong's rescue shows ding Dong the dog, estimated to be a young adul to Keida mix, sniffing around the porch of a home and activating the house's doorbell. Ding Dong the Dog was greeted by a friendly woman who approached the dog and offered him treats. The shelter tried to find an owner, no luck so far. They believed ding Dong would be an excellent family pet and could probably fit in with just about anyone. They described ding Dong the Dog as an easy going, sweet and happy, go lucky kind of guy.
0:58 He doesn't seem to know a stranger. He just wants to love on people and get attention. He a soft and fluffy fur and loves to snuggle. Hey, if ding Dong hasn't been found yet, reach out to Gateway peed Guardians. Maybe ding Dong could come live with you. Rooting for you, Doggie A good news. Scientists have discovered a new way to test different types of asthma via a nasal swab. For many children diagnosed with asthma, it can be hard to pinpoint the nature of their particular stream of asthma. Testing options have been limited. Typically, doctors either droop blood or had children breathe into a mouthpiece to measure the nitric oxide in their breath. Meanwhile, some other scientists have found a new type of pangolin. It's the Indo Burmese pangolin. Now. Unfortunately, over a million pangolins were trafficked over a ten year period.
1:40 According to the World Wildlife Fund, people go after their meat, skins, and scales. Because of that, all eight species of the pangolin are endangered and protected under the Convention on International Trade and Endangered Species. That's the highest international trade agreement of wild animals and plants. The scientists were checking out the DNA on one of the confiscated pangs and found out, hey, this is a new kind and they dubbed it the Indo Burmese panglin. Mukesh is the lead biologist and said the discovery is a testament to the power of modern genetic tools and uncovering hidden diversity. The Indo Burmese panglin not only enriches our understanding of Asian pangolins, but also emphasizes the need for region specific conservation efforts. A dad walked one hundred and twenty four miles and the colds raised thousands of dollars for charity in his daughter's name.
2:26 When Maria was growing up, Dad would jokingly tell her he'd walk from London to Wolverhampton for her. That's one hundred and twenty four miles, to illustrate that he'd do anything for her. Now, Maria passed away in twenty twenty one of sudden cardiac arrest. She was walking home from work. She was seventeen. Dad told the BBC all her life, I used to say to Maria, I'd walk from London for you. It was just a show of love in adjusting type of way, but it kept going around and around in my head, and I told my wife I'm gonna walk from London, and my wife gave me the thumbs up. Dad and some friends set out on a six day walk to raise money for local charities in Marie's name, including the UK nonprofit cardiac risck in the Young. Six days later, they completed the one hundred and twenty four mile hike. Dad said, my feet are battered, swollen, I have blisters everywhere, my skin is ripped off. But I wanted to prove to her that she was my child.
3:11 I hope she'd be proud. I know she'd laugh that infectious laugh straight away, and I know she'd say I'm crazy, but i'd see her lip curl and a smile of pride. And that's what I want to do. I want to keep her memory alive, and I also want to keep it alive and the type of person that she was. Four residents in the LA area were arrested after an investigation by the California Department of Insurance. It was Operation bear Claw. All right, Johnny Mack, what's this about? You see the suspects I claim that a bear had entered their Rolls Royce and caused interior damage. The suspects even shared video footage of the incident. The insurance department was like a interesting. The video shows a furry figure entering through the side door, climbing around the back seat, and crawling out, leaving scratch marks on the leather seats in the door. Officials set upon further scrutiny of the video, the investigation deemed the bear was actually a person in a bear costume. Detectives found two more claims from these same people, from the same date, the same location, but involving different cars and at different Mercedes. The suspects provided video footage of those incidents as well, which followed a similar bat under the first. They went to a biologist in the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and was like, is this a bear? And Fish and Wildlife said nope, that is clearly a human and a bear suit. Detectives got a search warrant. They found the bear costume, complete with a head pause and metal tools in the shape of claws, in the suspects home. Now here's where the bad guy's tripped up. The bear costume light brown. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife says the only wild
