Vet denied service dog so he finds his own.

Nate Hamilton was wounded while on deployment so when he came home, he applied to have a service dog.  Because of the high demand, he was denied.  Nate then set out to find his own companion.  With the help of Pets for Patriots, he found Otis who would change his life forever.  Otis, an American Bulldog, was living in a shelter and had scars just like Nate.  He found Otis with his face pressed up against the fence craving attention.  They formed a special bond and now Otis helps Jake in every day life situations.  He evens helps at night when Jake has nightmares and seizures.  Otis and Jake

hero dog

Leslie Green was out for a stroll with her dog, Ruby Rae, early one morning when the dog led her to a newborn baby that had been abandoned.  If it had not been for Ruby Rae, the newborn probably wouldn't have survived.  It was wrapped in towels and still had the umbilical cord attached.  Green alerted authorities who transported the baby to the hospital.  Even though a search was done in the area to hopefully find who the mother was, nothing was found that would lead police to any answers.  Ruby Rae

Where's Steve?

Remember Steve Burns from Blue's Clues?  The show was a hit and it seemed that Steve just disappeared at the height of it's success.  There were rumors at the time but now we know for sure what happened to him.  He didn't die of a drug overdose or even get busted for using drugs.  And he wasn't in a car crash.  Even though there were a number of personal reasons that Steve left the show, he says the one that was top was that he was going bald and he didn't want to do that on tv.  So now we can stop wondering about what happened to Steve.  He's dabbling with a career in music and has done some work with The Flaming Lips.  Steve

Surprise on Memorial Day

A group of firefighters were at a Costco Store in Vacaville, CA buying their groceries when they got a call and had to leave.  They had been in line to check out so they left their cart and rushed to the emergency.  When they returned to the store to pay for their groceries, they found that the bill had been paid by an "Air Force wife."  No one knows who the woman was but the firefighters have decided to pay it forward with the money that would've been spent on the food.  good deed

visiting all 50 states

There is a group of people who make it their goal to visit all 50 states.  Some have certain rules like they must stay at least an hour in each state and airport property doesn't count.  I've got just 3 states to visit: Maine, Rhode Island, and Alaska.  It's going to take some planning but I will make it happen.  50 states
