Dolly Parton calls, Heroic Dogs, and Hidden Treasures

0:03 Calaroga Shark Media. I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Nice job by a dog. In Arlington, Washington was three am and a fire was quietly burning the workshop of a nearby home. Douglas was sleeping soundly in a house across the road, and he was awakened by the sound of his dog, Lucy. Douglas said, Nord, let us yell her to go to sleep. You know, this was a different type of bark, a loud, screaming type bark. Was totally different than her just barking at usual bark. Woke us both up. Something's wrong, Wow, she was trying to tell us something. Douglas's wife went to the window to see what the Australian shipper Laprador was bargain about, and they called nine to one one and firefighters arrived to contain and eventually put out the blaze before it spread from the detached workshop to the home, where the owner was still asleep. Firefighters said in another ten minutes it could reach the house. A man is counting his lucky stars that he didn't throw away a next quick can he found when he was renovating his home. Tonio is a builder. He spotted six canisters. They were filled to the brim with around fifty thousand dollars worth of bank notes give or take your exchange rate. Couldn't believe his luck. He went to cash in, but he found out that the Bank of Spain will no longer accept the notes that make up the nine million pactas as the bank discontinued the old notes back in two thousand and two. Tonio was sad. He said, I called them, They told me it was no longer possible. But he did manage to bag himself around thirty grand after training in some more up to date notes and said, paid for a new roof. I guess they kept

1:33 the containers to avoid humidity. The last ones were somewhat damaged, but the others weren't. They were ironed. It was incredible. The home had been abandoned for four decades. Tonio snapped up the house when he saw listed on Facebook. He says he's going to keep some of the out of date notes as a souvenir. Good news if you're a New Jersey bobcat, you guys have rebounded. A recent study says there were between two hundred and four hundred bobcats in New Jersey. Bobcats are naturally shy creatures to steer away from humans and other populations of animals, but due to the loss of their natural habitats, we're seeing more and more bobcats around the neighborhoods. Gretchen Fowls is with the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife. She says bobcats are restricted mainly to northern New Jersey, but we're seeing more bobcats in recent years. There were a few confirmed records in the past several years south of Interstate seventy eight.

2:17 If folks encounter bobcats, the best thing to do is give them some space, and almost every situation they're gonna run away. Right where I live, there's occasionally a wolf and then people will think it's the fox, and I'm like, no, I've seen the fox. When you see the wolf, the wolf is not the fox. You will know the wolf when you see it. Scary. The Grand Gold has stage four colon cancer. La Grand's dream meeting Dolly Parton. You got to do that on a video call with Dolly. She called the Utah Man, chatted with him and even sang to him. While Gold's wife captured the heartwarming moment. His wife Alice told Dolly that her husband goes by his initials LG. Dolly's on the video says, Hey LG, it's Dolly P. How are you. I've heard you're a fan of mine and in our final story today, if you're over fifty and live alone, you might want to get a pet. Scientists say people over fifty living alone may be able to counter decline in their verbal cognition by adding a pet to their home. According to a new study, Doctor Lou is a professor of epidemiology and medical science and says pet ownership may completely offset the effect of living alone on cognitive decline. Doctor Richard Isaacson as a neurologist and says it's more accurate to say may slow down cognitive decline. Scientists get in a fight over these bets. One caution not to say is if a person who lives alone already as cognitive impairment or physical limitation such as bounds or vision problems, it generally would not be advisable for that person to adopt a pet to slow down their brain aging. But Lou says, compared with non pet owners, pet owners take more modern, vigorous physical activity, pointing out that some animals might require an aquarium or chicken coop. Those require specific lighting, water features, plants, rocks, or soils, and that may,

3:50 according to Lou, promote owners to establish connections with nature, thereby increasing the immunity of owners. I'm not a scientist. And that's your five good news stories for today. If you enjoy the prayer, tell a friend about it. They might like it to you. Have a great day.
