Dog saying goodbye to dying officer suddenly senses something odd and stops the doctor

No matter how hard we try, we’ll never find a friend more loyal and loving than a dog—especially in our toughest times. The saying that dogs are man’s best friend has proven true time and time again, and the following story will only reinforce that truth.

Officer Cory Masterson was involved in a chase of perpetrators along with his dog when he was ambushed and hit in the head in the middle of the woods.

As he fell on the ground, he started losing consciousness.

It was then that his dog partner, Reno, started running towards the woods. When he arrived, one of the criminals, who was holding a knife in his hand, was about to stab Cory who lay motionlessly on the ground.

Reno then grabbed the man’s arm under his elbow and despite getting injured himself, he wouldn’t let go of the man’s arm.

Eventually, the man released himself and ran even further into the woods.

As Reno approached Cory, he heard sirens. It was another police vehicle that was involved in the chase.

The dog led two police officers to the fallen officer.

Soon after, Sergeant Cory was rushed to the hospital while Reno stayed with one of the officers.

The following morning, Reno was waiting next to the officer’s car, eager to get to the hospital and see his buddy.

Unfortunately, Cory suffered a severe skull fracture that led to internal bleeding. Things took a dark turn as he fell into a coma.

Reno wasn’t let into the ICU and he kept waiting in front of the emergency room until an officer took him back home.

Around three months later, Cory, who was still in coma, was transferred home with a nurse who provided him with around the clock care. Reno was also there. He found a safe spot next to his human friend, and never left it.

But then, on a Thursday, something extraordinary happened. Reno could sense something about Cory was different so he rushed towards the room where the caregiver slept and started scratching the door in the middle of the night.

Aware that the dog was trying to tell her something, the nurse followed Reno.

She then noticed movement in Cory’s fingers.

Over time, he started getting better. He started speaking and learned how to walk again, although his health was still very fragile.

One night, Cory woke up and tried to get to the bathroom, and as always, Reno followed after him. But then, the dog could sense something wasn’t right.

Cory’s jaw clenched and his eyes bulged. The next moment, he fell on the floor, unable to move.

Reno scratched the caregiver’s door and barked as loudly as he could. The moment he heard movements and sounds, he knew the caregiver was awake and he rushed back to Cory whose mouth was covered in a thin layer of foam.

The caregiver checked his pulse and turned him on the side, placing a pillow under his head. She then called the emergency services and medics arrived at Cory’s home in no time.

They gave Cory CPR but it looked like they lost him. However, Reno wouldn’t accept that his friend was dead. Instead, he started barking and growling, not letting the doctors come near Cory’s body.

The police was alerted of Reno’s behavior and the doctor asked the dog to be taken out of the house.

However, after a couple of minutes, they heard coughing.

After all, Cory wasn’t dead.

The following day, a press release from Cory’s department stated that doctors were stunned to witness the Lazarus effect in Cory — an inexplicable and extremely rare phenomenon in which a person’s heart starts beating again after CPR has been stopped

When everyone else had given up hope, Reno hadn’t. This dog refused to believe the officer was gone. Somehow, he sensed what even the doctors couldn’t—a spark of life.

Only two places are safe in a nuclear war, expert says

Lately, international headlines have been focused on potential armed conflicts in parts of the word, raising the question: is there truly any place left that’s safe?

According to experts, the answer is yes. But these safe places aren’t bunkers or shelters as many may assume.

Annie Jacobsen, an investigative journalist and author, argues that if things go south and nuclear war breaks out, there are two places considered safe — New Zealand and Australia.

In case you wonder why, Jacobsen explains that in case of a nuclear war, the countries in the Southern Hemisphere would remain the only places capable of supporting agricultural life.

“Places like Iowa and Ukraine would be just snow for 10 years. So agriculture would fail and when agriculture fails, people just die,” she said an interview with Steven Bartlett for The Diary of a CEO podcast.

“On top of that, you have the radiation poisoning because the ozone layer will be so damaged and destroyed that you can’t be outside in the sunlight.

“People will be forced to live underground. So you have to imagine people living underground, fighting for food everywhere except for in New Zealand and Australia.”

Further, Jacobsen cited a research from Professor Owen Toon in Nature Food. She stated, “Professor Toon and his team[…] sort of updated [the] nuclear winter idea based around food, and the number that they have is five billion people would be dead.”

According to experts, nuclear winter refers to the prolonged cooling after nuclear explosions ignite massive fires. This would lead to serious food shortages and hunger for people and animals alike.

Bartlett asked, “The population of the planet currently is what, eight billion?” and added: “So there’d be three billion people still alive. Where shall I go to be one of the three billion? I was just in New Zealand and Australia.”

Jacobsen replied: “That’s exactly where you’d go. According to Toon, those are the only places that could actually sustain agriculture.”

Also, Australia and New Zealand are geographically distant from the world’s major nuclear powers like US and Russia.

Woman shares four symptoms ‘ignored’ by doctors before being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer

Despite experiencing awful symptoms for nearly a year, a woman named Hannah was “ignored” by her GP which eventually led to a diagnosis of stage 4 cancer that could have been caught early had her concerns not been dismissed for so long.

Jokingly, this young TikToker says she and her GP are “not the best of friends.”

Hannah uses her social media platform that she runs together with husband Charlie in order to raise awareness about the importance of seeking second opinion when experiencing symptoms that feel out of the ordinary.

In 2021, Hannah was told she had a 12cm tumor that was pushing on her spine.

“So I was medically gas-lit for over eight months which led to a late diagnosis of stage four cancer so no, me and my GP are not the best of friends,” she said and added that it should ‘never have got that far.’

Her symptoms started with a cough, a fully body rash, extreme fatigue, and weight loss which she taught was “a total slay at the time.”

“I was told to take antibiotics and come back if it doesn’t help – spoiler alert, it didn’t. I was refused an in-person appointment – pretty sure if there was a ‘hypochondriac button’ on their computer, they clicked it.”

As her symptoms worsened, she called her GP repeatedly but was only told to get some over the counter medicine.

During the winter, she developed pneumonia, as the tumor was ‘pushing on [her] chest.’ However, since she was ignored for so long, she just learned how to live with the pain until she ended up in the hospital with suspected heart attack.

Sadly, even more mistakes were made by medics who handled her situation.

The receptionist there “put [her] down as having period pains.”

Hannah shared on TikTok, “If that doesn’t just scream ‘misogyny’, I don’t know what does.”

At one point, a nurse spotted her and asked from the doctors there to see her. Eventually, they requested an X-ray that showed a massive shadow.

When they did a CT scan, it was revealed Hannah had stage 4 cancer.

From that moment on, Hannah has been receiving chemo and radiation treatments and is part of a clinical trial.

@thattravelcouple I was medically gaslit for 8 months… and it nearly cost me my life 👀🩺 I was dismissed with antibiotics, told I was dramatic, and refused scans, while a 12cm tumour was crushing my lungs and heart. By the time anyone listened, it was stage 4 cancer. Eight months of chemo later, I’m still here. But it never should have got that far 💉🧬 This is your reminder to fight for answers. If they won’t give you a test, ask them to write it in your notes.

Influencer, 30, shares video announcing death weeks after birth of first child

Weeks after becoming a dad, influencer Tanner Martin shared an emotional farewell video announcing his death.

Tanner and wife Shay Martin became beloved social media stars after they started sharing Tanner’s journey following his terminal cancer diagnosis in 2020. They shared their bucket list of adventures and things to do while Tanner could still travel and do things.

The couple visited Disney World, renewed their vows, and vacationed in Mexico and Italy. They also met actor Mark Hamil who is playing the character of Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, Tanner’s favorite series.

Even in Tanner’s final video, a Star Wars quote makes its way into the caption that read: “May the force be with you from our angel force ghost.”

In the video he shared on Instagram with his 455,000 followers, Tanner said, “Hey, it’s me, Tanner. If you are watching this, I am dead,” adding that his final message will be ‘lighthearted.’

He explained that he decided to make a goodbye video a year ago, sharing that he had a ‘heck of a life.’ 

“Life was awesome. I really enjoyed it while I was here,” he shared.

“Hopefully, I believe there’s something after this. I’m excited to meet those people, and hopefully we’re hanging out now and making fun of all you nerds.”

Tanner received the devastating diagnosis of having colon cancer aged 25. He was given between two and five years left to live since his cancer was uncurable.

Over the course of four something years, Tanner had undergone several major surgeries and over 50 rounds of chemotherapy and radiation.

“I think it’s important to talk about death, especially for other people in my situation,” Tanner told People in October last year. “This is something you want to prep for. You don’t want your spouse to have to plan your funeral and maybe not even have enough money to do so.”

The couple welcomed daughter AmyLou on May 15, 2025 and explained their decision to embrace parenthood in a TikTok video.

@tannerandshay You’ll want to watch until the end…surprise!😭😭 #cancersucks #ivf #momsoftiktok #momtok #dadtok #viralvideo #fyp @@Michael Bublé ♬ I Get to Love You – Acoustic – Mysha Didi

“Cancer has taken so much from us. I know you wanted to be a dad so badly, but I got to see you be the best dog dad. We tried IVF and planned to have a baby, but sepsis and your cancer progressing prevented us. Until now.”

A number of followers left their tributes under his final video.

“The most special human. Rest in peace sweet Tanner. Sending love and prayers to everyone left behind, especially Shay and your beautiful baby girl,” one person wrote.

“Sending prayers to you and your little girl. Heaven just gained the best angel. Love you,” another added.

Americans weigh in on Trump’s deployment of National Guard in L.A.

After Trump vowed mass deportations, ICE carried out raids across the country, triggering protests in L.A and surrounding areas — While most protesters remained peaceful, certain incidents of violence prompted President Trump to deploy the National Guard to contain the unrest.

While Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, and other local officials criticized Trump’s decision, claiming the deployment of the National Guard and the Marines could only made the situation worse, Trump defended his actions.

Taking to Truth Social, he wrote, “If I didn’t ‘SEND IN THE TROOPS‘ to Los Angeles the last three nights, that once beautiful and great City would be burning to the ground right now,” dubbing the protesters “insurrectionists.”

The Daily Signal reported that a poll conducted on June 9 showed that of those who responded — a sample of 1,000 registered voters — 58% expressed support for the administration’s actions, including 34% who said they “strongly favor” them. Meanwhile, 37% opposed the policies, and 15% remained undecided.

Regarding deportation, the public’s opinion is divided. 36% believe the administration has gone too far with deportations, 25% say it’s about right, and 30% think it hasn’t gone far enough.

Support splits along party lines: 86% of Republicans, 26% of Democrats, and 45% of independents approve.

A federal judge ruled Trump’s actions illegal and ordered control of the National Guard returned to Newsom.

However, an appeals court temporarily halted that order.

U.S. District Judge Charles R. Breyer stated that Trump’s actions “were illegal—both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

“He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith.”

Leaving the hospital should’ve brought relief—But it didn’t

Leaving the hospital after weeks spent there should’ve brought a feeling of relief, but it didn’t. Instead, I feared for the future and for what awaited me and my sweet girl who grinned behind her mask and waved goodbye to the nurses who became our second family.

The truth was that we had nowhere to go. During the long hospital stay, I wasn’t able to work because Callie needed constant care during her chemo treatments, and while my boss said they understood my situation, they stopped calling.

With Callie’s dad long out of the picture and no family member by our side, I hadn’t been able to pay rent for months.

And now, when my girl was finally cancer-free, I couldn’t tell her we had no home to go to.

Seeing Callie smile, I smiled back and let her believe that everything was fine.

Before leaving the hospital, she chose a balloon she liked, and although I barely had any money, I bought it for her—yet the feeling of relief was still completely absent.

And then, as we walked through the lobby, two police officers approach us.

I panicked, but then one of the nurses tried to calm me down, saying, “Don’t worry. They are here to help.”

I wasn’t sure what was going on, but something deep down told me things could get better for me and my girl.

The officers told us they were taking us to a “temporary placement,” and before long, we found ourselves standing in front of a house where a woman, Mrs. Harper, greeted us.

The officers said they were leaving us in safe hands and handed me an envelope before they left.

When I opened it, there was a key inside and a note that read, “This isn’t charity. It is my way to mend things with you and my niece.”

It was from my brother, Dereck, whom I hadn’t seen in more than 14 years. Somehow, he learned of my financial struggles and Callie’s health condition and wanted to be there for us—no strings attached.

I started crying tears of joy. After all those years, Dereck hadn’t forgotten about me.

Mr. Harper turned to me and said, “He’s a good man. He asked me to look after you both.”

Over time, my brother reached out more. He and his family became part of Callie’s life.

This experience taught me that no matter how hard things get, family always sticks together despite all the feuds and misunderstandings.

The White House Rose Garden is almost unrecognizable now

Amid renovations on the grounds of the White House under Trump’s second presidency, the Rose Garden — considered by many a sacred ground — looks almost unrecognizable.

Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump began the alterations on June 9, with the president saying, “You know, we use [the Rose Garden] for press conferences, and it doesn’t work because the people fall.”

He added: “The terrain can be wet, and the soft ground can be an issue for some. Women, with the high heels, it just didn’t work.”

Recent photos from the area shared online show the grass center square of the Rose Garden completely gone.

Instead, there are now layers of gravel and a bunch of construction equipment nearby.

The only greenery that is still intact are the original hedges along the borders.

A White House official commented on the ongoing renovations, dubbing the process a “restoration” aimed at improving functionality and honoring tradition.

However, that’s not what the public believes the project to be. Instead, a number of people took to the social media to blast Trump and Melania.

“To remove Kennedy’s Rose Garden is removing a piece of our White House history. And for a patio,” one person posted on X.

“White House Rose Garden gone. Absolutely crazy,” another user posted.

This isn’t the first time such outrage has surfaced. Back in 2020, during Trump’s first presidency, Melania made changes to the Rose Garden.

She was forced to break her usual silence and defend her decision.

“The Rose Garden is graced with a healthy & colorful blossoming of roses,” her public statement read. “Decades of use and necessary changes made to support the modern presidency have taken a toll on the garden and have made it more difficult to appreciate the elegant symmetry of the Mellon plan,” it added.

New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow was among the critics of Melania’s changes, dubbing her vision “grim.”

According to the Associated Press, there will be other changes to the White House as well. They reported that plans are underway for a new ballroom and two giant flagpoles—one each for the North and South Lawns.

Trump bragged about covering the expenses of the renovations himself.

“They’ve needed flagpoles for 200 years,” he told reporters in April.

On June 18, Trump was spotted steps from the Rose Garden, supervising the work and talking to the construction workers.

Young man saves child locked inside a car – faces unexpected reaction

The day was as hot as it gets during the peak of summer. There were barely any people on the streets when Oliver finished work and headed home. The 30 degrees Celsius heat made it unbearable for anyone to function properly.

The air shimmered, the asphalt radiated heat into his feet.

As he was trying to get home as soon as possible, a sudden crying made him stop.

Near the supermarket, in the middle of the empty parking lot, there was a parked car with a small child locked inside.

The car’s windows were dark and tinted, and as he approached and took a closer look, he realized the child, who was obviously extremely hot and struggling because of the high temperatures, was no older than a year.

His face was red and his eyes were barely opened. The boy’d lips were cracked from thirst.

Oliver didn’t hesitate when he tried opening the car’s door. But it was locked, just like the rest of them. He screamed for help, but the parking lot was empty and no one heard his cries.

Scared for the boy’s well-being, he decided to act.

Nearby, there was a stone he could use to break the car’s window, and although an inner voice told him to call emergency service and wait for them to arrive, he was afraid it could be too late, so he did what he believed was for the best and broke the window, taking the child out.

Oliver rushed the little one to the nearest hospital. He was running so fast with the child in his arms that when he finally arrived, he didn’t feel his legs.

“HELP!” he shouted, and a nurse ran over.

“The child… in the car… heat… he…” Oliver barely managed to say.

When they looked at the boy, the doctors said he took him out of the hot vehicle just in time. Had the little one stayed inside even minutes longer, the consequences could be fatal.

But around fifteen minutes later, the boy’s mother arrived. When she learned it was Oliver who took the baby out of her fancy car, instead of thanking him for acting quickly, she was outraged over the broken glass.

“I was away for a few minutes only and you broke my car’s window. I demand you to pay for the damage, otherwise, I’m calling the police,” she threatened.

Oliver couldn’t believe — even minutes were a lot of time for a child to be locked inside a car during the unbearable heat.

When the police arrived, she pointed towards Oliver and said, “This man is crazy. He broke into my car.”

The officers questioned Oliver and spoke to the doctors who confirmed that the boy was severely dehydrated and on the verge of suffering from heatstroke.

Then they turned to the mother and said, “Madam, you are looking at potential loss of parental rights and criminal charges for endangering this child’s life.”

As of Oliver, they praised his action and dubbed it heroic.

But Oliver didn’t want praise. He also didn’t want the mother to be punished. He only did what he believed to be the right thing at the time.
