Pam Robb was fatally injured when a dog “suddenly snapped” and began biting her at the 100+ Abandoned Dogs of Everglades Florida shelter in Oakland Park at just before 11 a.m., CBS Miami reported. The second woman suffered minor injuries when she attempted to aid Robb, who worked at the shelter caring for animals, Broward Sheriff’s Office Spokeswoman Claudinne Caro told CBS Miami. Caro said: “The two adult females are workers....
The reality television star—given name Duane Chapman—has fired back at claims that his high profile search for the missing fiance of the late Gabby Petito is a publicity stunt. Steven Bertolino, representing the Laundrie family, described Chapman (as well as America’s Most Wanted’s John Walsh) as a “dusty relic” who was attempting to feed his ego by getting involved in the manhunt for the missing 23-year-old. “Dusty relics like that Dog and John Walsh need a tragic situation like this so they can clear the cobwebs off their names and give their publicity-hungry egos some food,” Bertolino said on Thursday....
Those much-loved family pets have hardly been left alone, as many worked from home and going for a walk became a focal activity during restrictions. However, when one dog owner looked at what her pooch was up to when she left the house via CCTV, it seemed he was missing his human very much indeed. In the footage, posted to TikTok by Mr_munch_theboss on June 20, an English Bulldog can be seen sat forlorn by a door awaiting his owner’s arrival....
If there’s one thing dogs love besides food, it’s sleep. The average canine spends 10-12 hours a day sleeping, according to Sleep.org. In fact, it’s estimated that dogs are active for around just 20 percent of their day and only awake for roughly 30 percent. That might sound extreme but to some it probably sounds just about perfect. The CDC estimates that the average adult needs at least 7 hours of sleep a night....
According to a paper published in the journal Current Biology, dogs are capable of emotional tears, especially when seeing someone they are very fond of. “We found that dogs shed tears associated with positive emotions,” Takefumi Kikusui of Azabu University in Japan, a co-author of the paper in a statement. “We also made the discovery of oxytocin as a possible mechanism underlying it.” Humans cry emotional tears, both when they are sad and happy....
Left-arm spinner Xavier Doherty starred with the ball in Hobart Hurricanes’s 14-run win over Adelaide Strikers in the Twenty20 Big Bash League here Wednesday. Travis Birt’s whirlwind 44 off 26 balls and Owais Shah’s unbeaten 36 off 18 catapulted the Hurricanes to 171 after they elected to bat. Michael Klinger and Aiden Blizzard gave Adelaide a solid start but Doherty (4/17) turned the game on its head with a brilliant spell....
The ruling from U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle on Monday brought an end to federal face mask requirements on public transportation, leaving the decision on masking up to individual transportation providers. The DOJ said on Tuesday that the ruling would be appealed depending on guidance from the CDC. “It is CDC’s continuing assessment that at this time an order requiring masking in the indoor transportation corridor remains necessary for the public health,” the CDC said in a statement on Wednesday....
Hashtags such as #DojaCatIsOverParty and #OnlyKlans began trending on Twitter last week leading the performer, whose real name is Amalaratna Zandile Dlamini, to publicly apologize. Videos and images that allegedly show the “Say So” singer taking part in alleged racist internet chat rooms surfaced and began circulating on social media on Friday, May 22. The footage shows Dlamini making sexual comments to men whom several Twitter users claim are members of the alt-right/incel (involuntary celibate) community—a claim which Dlamini states is “100% incorrect....
The rapper and singer changed her Twitter screen name to Christmas recently, but since the controversial $8 Twitter Blue subscription went live, she’s seemingly stuck with it as her screen name. The billionaire did take the time to respond to Doja Cat’s plight, assuring her that a fix is on the way. After writing some one word, expletive-filled tweets, she shared her problem with fans. “Why can’t I change my name on here,” Doja Cat wrote early on Thursday morning....

The selection not only made Waddle the first Crimson Tide player off the board, but also came after he missed nearly the entire 2020 college football season with an ankle injury. Oh, and he reunited with former Alabama teammate and 2020 first-round pick Tua Tagovailoa. It was a heartwarming moment that left many confused when Waddle completely ignored his family, opting instead to celebrate with Alabama teammates Patrick Surtain II, DeVonta Smith and Mac Jones on his way to the stage....
It originally was thought F1 was looking to gain permission to put on a race in Miami’s harborside area but faced opposition to the idea and consequently switched focus to the home of NFL’s Dolphins. A joint statement from F1 commercial chief Sean Bratches and Dolphins vice chairman Tom Garfinkel confirmed the venue could host the inaugural Miami Grand Prix in the 2021 season. “We are thrilled to announce that Formula One and Hard Rock Stadium have reached an agreement in principle to host the first-ever Formula One Miami Grand Prix at Hard Rock Stadium,” the statement read....
With Hurricane Irma bearing down on Florida and evacuations beginning in the Florida Keys and the Miami area, the league decided to move the game to what had been a mutual bye for the two teams in Week 11. The NFL had said on Tuesday the game would not be played in Miami on Sunday; the other alternative was to keep the game this weekend but play it at a neutral site....
The Dolphins, who host the Browns on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET, were planning to hold a moment of silence in honor of Fernandez before kickoff, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter (via Sports Illustrated). MORE: Remembering those the sports world has lost in 2016 According to reports, Fernandez was one of three people killed in the accident. The Marlins’ game Sunday against the Braves was cancelled. “The Miami Marlins organization is devastated by the tragic loss of Jose Fernandez,” the Marlins said in a statement....
Allen and the Bills have lived up to early expectations this season, outscoring opponents 72-17 and stifling both the Super Bowl-champion Rams and two-time rushing champ Derrick Henry. It seems like nothing can stand in the way of Buffalo’s dominance on both sides of the ball, but Tagovailoa might have something to say about that this week. The third-year QB came out of his shell in Miami’s second-half comeback victory in Baltimore last weekend....
It took a full 60-minute effort for the Vikings to defeat the Bears in Week 5. Minnesota jumped out to an early 21-3 first-half lead but then allowed the Bears to score 19 unanswered points, falling behind 22-21 in the fourth quarter. Minnesota would respond with a 17-play, 75-yard drive TD drive, capped off by a one-yard run by Kirk Cousins to regain the lead. Cornerback Cameron Dantzler later sealed the win for Minnesota, ripping the ball away from Bears’ WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette in the waning moments of the fourth quarter....
The long-awaited report by the UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) was published minutes before midnight in Geneva on Wednesday as the four-year term of Michelle Bachelet, the UN’s top rights official, concluded. Rights groups and Western diplomats said her office had delayed publication by more than a year while trying to arrange a personal visit to the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) in northwest China. Bachelet herself said this week that Beijing had sent a letter—co-signed by “40 or 50 countries”—to lobby against the report....
“Zombieland,” one Redditor said. “First a slightly gory but funny wrap-up of the Zombie Apocalypse followed by a spectacular slow-motion intro sequence while ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls’ from Metallica is played. Still gives me goosebumps 11 years later.” “Metallica and zombies in slow motion is an awesome combination,” another agreed. “Goodfellas,” one Redditor said (which is obviously the correct answer). “As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster,” another wrote, quoting Ray Liotta’s iconic opening lines....
Trump frequently takes aim at adversaries online, while Biden himself has also used the digital realm to hit back at the Republican incumbent as of late. But while each campaign looks to utilize the platforms, the scale of followers for each is slanted—and much in Trump’s favor. However, the level of engagement Biden receives does not reflect the scale of this difference in following. On Twitter, for example, the president has 86....
