Yes we know the dog is on the roof PLUS Polar Bears raid donut van!

0:02 The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Thanks to Richard who's a listener to the podcast and put this one under my nose. Good news if you're a bear who likes Krispy Kreme donuts. Two bears on an Alaska military base rated a Krispy Kreme donut van that was stopped outside a convenience store. The driver usually leaves his doors open. He oh, he won't be doing that anymore when he stops at the store, but this time some polar bears climbed inside and they stayed for about twenty minutes. The bears chumped on donut holes and other pastries, ignoring the banging on the side of the van that was aimed at showing them away. I could hang out with these bears. Do they like iced coffee? They sound cool, The manager at the store said, I was beating on the van and the bears aren't moving. I could hear them breaking over the packages and everything. They don't even care. Base security was called and sounded sirens meant to scare away the bears. The bears didn't care. Bear. The bears eventually came out and wandered in front of the store and gas station forbid, and then headed into the woods where I bet they had a great nap. Captain Lexi Smith, who's a spokesperson of the military base, said, we urged the public to use caution to ensure you're protecting our wildlife and yourselves. Wildlife maybe our neighbor, but they should not be attracted to our human food sources, which apparently are donuts. A twenty three year old woman in Akron, Ohio, was moved to tears after meeting the family of someone who saved her life. Katherine is a heart transplant recipient and said it was just absolutely amazing and breathtaking, emotional, but also gratifying. Catherine had undergone twenty surgeries and procedures on her

1:38 heart before even reaching age twenty. When she suffered heart failure while still in college, or doctors told her transplant that was when I knew I was either leaving the hospital with a heart or leaving the hospital out the back door. After thirty five days, she found that a heart had become available. Catherine said, we knew that their family were grieving something immense, a family that was losing not only maybe a child. That we came to find out but a loved one. They've lost them down. While they're giving life, you're losing that piece of them. The heart had belonged to a thirty nine year old mother of two, Desiree, who had died suddenly of natural causes. Her parents said. Desiree was adamant about being a donor. I'm a donor. You should be a donor, desire a stepmother said. When she went to get her driver's license, I was with her and she said, I want to be a donor. She goes, I gotta be a donor.

2:20 I want to be a donor because if I don't do anything good on earth, I know I will afterwards, and by golly, she did. Catherine is back at work and even ran a five k Lega was now selling Braille bricks that used the bumps on their iconic bricks to teach the Braill alphabet, and they're not just for blind people. Alongside the Braille bumps on each brick are printed the letters and numbers so that everyone could play while learning a new language. That's a great idea. The new play with Brail set makes learning Braill more fun and is accessible to everyone. Martin Abel Williamson is the president of the World Blind Union and said for blind and partially sighted children and adults for that matter, makes all the difference if they could share their journey of learning Braille with the people they love the most. It's getting a little late in this season, but if you need help with your lawn. Brian Schwartz had an idea three years ago. He had just been laid off from work and want to do something good for others. He began mowing lawns for those who weren't able to people like senior citizens, veterans, the disabled Natgeist recording podcast. They gotta like, put the mic down on co outside and cut your own lawn, Johnny Mack. Schwartz's I Want to Mow your Lawn effort became a movement. He now oversees around five hundred volunteers in forty six states.

3:22 Dude, you gave yourself a job. The group has spruced up two thousand yards nationwide. Volunteer Steve Edgeler said they're offering gifts and money, but no, it's voluntary. That's why we do it, and people can't get over that fact. Sometimes the effort is now going international. People are mowing lawns in Canada, Australia and the UK and okay, look, everybody, we know the Golden Retrievers on the roof. We know you don't have to tell us. A woman has been forced to put up a sign explaining why her dog is on the roof. Huckleberry lives in Austin, Texas. He likes hanging out on the roof. Neighbors were constantly knocking on the door to let the owner know, Hey, huckle Berry's on your roof. But with every knock the owner don't have to spend ten minutes explain no, no, He goes up there and he's not in danger and he likes it. So she had install a sign explaining, huckle Berry is living up to his name and learned how to jump on our roof from the backyard. We never leave him in the backyard without someone being at home, and he's not going to jump off unless you entice him with a food or bass. Don't do that.
