Pit bull without a leash rushes towards screaming child, then owner discovers horrible reason why

There is no such thing as a bad dog, maybe just bad owners who fail to teach their furry pets the right behavior. When a dog is mistreated, it’s not unusual for them to turn aggressive, but that again, isn’t the dog’s fault.

Out of all dog breeds out there, Pit Bulls are considered to be most vicious. Their bad reputation is a result of humans treatment towards them. They have been used for dog frights for so long that they now stand for aggression. But the Pit bull from this story proves this common believe to be completely wrong by stepping in for a young boy and saving his life.

The story was shared by a woman named Stacie Rae English, the sister of a Pit Bull owner named Hurley.

Writing for Love what Matters, Stacie explained that her brother Shelby was walking Hurley at around 10 pm and let him off the leash so that he could run around when they heard a young boy screaming so Hurley took off after the scream.

“With my brother close behind, he saw Hurley grab a copper head snake away from the little boy and fling it around, later found out he had killed it. The little boy ran to his mothers vehicle and drove off so fast that my brother was unable to find out any information on the little boy. (We are assuming because they left so fast that he was bitten and being rushed to the ER) My brother then went on to call animal control and the Highland Village Cops showed up to check out the scene,” Stacie wrote.

“They asked to take a look at Hurley to see if he was bitten. To my brothers surprise, he was bleeding, had a swollen neck and foaming from his mouth. Sure enough, they found two puncture wounds in his upper lip. Shelby rushed Hurley to Denton Animal Emergency Hospital where he stayed the night so they could check his blood clotting ability multiple times through out the night.”

Luckily, Hurley was sent home and is doing fine, except his face is still swollen.

“It was later discovered the little boy had come across a copper head nest and hopefully Hurley prevented him from getting bitten, or at least getting bitten multiple times. We are still trying to find out who the little boy is and make sure he is okay. Here’s our hero pit bull. I’d like for his story to get around for those who judge his breed.”

We are glad everything turned out for the best for both Hurley and the boy he saved.

Two nursing home workers caught on tape abusing 98-year-old grandma

Minnie Graham’s life in the nursing home was supposed to be peaceful. This 98-year-old lady was admitted to the nursing home with promises that she will miss nothing and she will be under constant care and support. It turned out those promises were not quite true.

One day Minnie started complaining to her family that the staff was mistreating her. She added that the staff’s behavior towards her was awful, particularly that of the nurse that was assigned to take care of her. These claims were not taken too seriously by the family at that moment. However, very soon other signs made them think twice.

Very soon the family witnessed something very shocking. There were bruises on Minnie’s body. Later, she appeared to have a black eye, which made them quite worried. Minnie’s daughter and granddaughters wanted some answers about these horrible things.

The staff told the family that Minnie fell from the wheelchair and got the bruises. They told the family that there was nothing to worry about. But, the family knew there was more than what they were told. 

The granddaughters wanted to find out what was going on. Therefore, they decided to put a camera in Mannie’s room. The camera was hidden in a clock. After some time, the family saw something horrible. They couldn’t believe their eyes!

It turned out that their beloved grandma was abused by two employees, Brenna Tiller and Iwuchukwu Ekechukwu. In one of the footages, they were shows spraying water on Minnie’s face and forcing a cloth into her mouth that had just been used to clean her body.

It took some time for the two cruel workers to be punished for what they did, but through initiative and determination, the family witnessed justice being served before Minnie passed away.

According to Rasansky Law Firm, Ekechukwu was reportedly convicted for a felony with five years of probation and had her nursing home license revoked, but Tiller continued to work at different facility and authorities have been unable to track her down. 

For more on this story go to the video below.

It goes without saying that absolutely no one deserves this sort of treatment, particularly not someone so weak and vulnerable as Minnie.

‘It doesn’t sound like a good idea:’ Princess Anne delivers shock news days before King Charles’ coronation

Princess Anne, the daughter of late Queen Elizabeth and sister of King Charles, has kept quiet about the royal family despite everything they have gone through, including Meghan and Harry’s split from the Firm, Harry’s book, and everything her brother Andrew has been involved in during the past couple of years.

This time, however, she decided to open up about the future of the Royal Family and people praised her for the intelligent and eloquent interview.

During the wide-ranging interview with the Canadian channel CBC News, which took place four days ahead of the much-awaited coronation of King Charles, Princess Anne was asked, among the rest, about the reports that her brother intends to overhaul the institution, or better said, to “slim down” the monarchy.

Reports are that Charles’ thoughts on ‘cutting down’ the monarchy were present even when Queen Elizabeth was still alive.

“Prince Charles has wanted for a very long time to cut the monarchy down to save costs and to make people be worth the money that they got from the taxpayer,” Angela Levin, a royal expert, told TalkRADIO, as per Express. “I imagine that might be when Harry and Meghan are ditched from being members of the Royal family.”

Slimming down the monarchy would mean that the working royals, including the King himself, as well as William and Kate, would take on more duties. Speaking of it, Princess Anne said, “Well, I think the ‘slimmed-down’ [comment] was said in a day when there were a few more people around … [to] make that seem like a justifiable comment.” She then added: “It doesn’t sound like a good idea from where I’m standing, I would say. I’m not quite sure what else we can do.”

BBC Channel 5

Princess Anne is set to take part in the coronation procession as the Gold-Stick-in-Waiting.

“The direction of the King’s decision is clear for all to see,” a royal source revealed. “He is rewarding the Princess Royal for her loyalty and her unwavering devotion to duty above all else. The King values his sister as a trusted lieutenant, and this is the perfect example of such a relationship.”

In her new interview, Princess Anne, who is 16th in line of succession, was further questioned as to whether there are “conversations about relevance” taking place within the Royal Family.

She replied: “There will be everywhere. It’s not a conversation that I would necessarily have. I think it’s perfectly true that it is a moment where you need to have that discussion.

“But I would just underline that the monarchy provides, with the constitution, a degree of long-term stability that is actually quite hard to come by any other way.”

Over the years, the number of those who are in favor of the monarchy has decreased. Referring to this, the Princess said, “Well, we don’t in many respects need to deal with it, not least of all because it is the monarch that is the key to this, and the constitution that underpins the monarchy.”

“We as a family see ourselves there to support that role. What we do, we hope, contributes to the monarchy and the way in which it can convey continuity, of not just interest, but of service, of understanding, the way that people in communities want to live their lives.

She then concluded: “And I think so often we get the chance to see communities and the people who do things really well and are very generous with their time in a way that, if you look at the media, you tend not to get that impression.”

Princess Anne is considered to be the hardest-working royal.

King Charles breaks silence after receiving death threats, days before the coronation

When the late Queen was crowned some 70 years ago, Charles was just a three-year-old boy, who was totally unaware that the event he attended laid the foundation for him to become King one day. And that day has finally arrived.

May 6th marks the start of a new era for Britain. The much-awaited coronation is mere hours away and all eyes are on the British royal family and the big event.

British media outlets have speculated that the coronation will cost around $120 million, though neither Downing Street nor Buckingham Palace has confirmed the validity of this information.

A recent survey by YouGov shows that 32 per cent believe the coronation should be funded by the government, while the rest believe King Charles should pay for out of his own pocket. His fortune is estimated at £1.8 billion (around $2.2 billion).

The event would be attended by around 100 heads of state, and security services have been preparing for it for months. A record 11,500 police will be working on the coronation in what is set to be the most extensive security operation in British history.

The security will additionally include military personnel and three helicopters from the Metropolitan Police Air Support Unit from Essex will be in the air, along with other aircraft.

Besides those who would be there to greet and support the new King and the Queen Consort, there will also be those who would protest. In fact, protests have been held on multiple occasions since the passing of Queen Elizabeth by those who don’t want to pay for the lavish lifestyle of the members of the monarchy and want it shut down.

“What we will not stand for and what we will not have is anyone committing criminal acts in the name of protest,” Deputy Assistant Commissioner Adelekan said.

“We will come down very swiftly to intervene, to make sure that people that are going about their normal business that just want to enjoy the coronation are not interfered with.”

An incident which took place earlier this week raised a red flag, despite the fact that security has been as tight as it’s ever been in London as the coronation approaches.

At about 7pm local time on Tuesday, a man was taken for questioning after throwing what’s been reported as shotgun shells into the grounds of Buckingham Palace. The person was reported to have shouted: “I’m going to kill the king.” He was also carrying a knife.

“He was in his thirties. He’s been here the last few nights shouting, ‘I’m going to kill the King!’” one witness told The Sun. “As soon as he placed the bag on the ground, the police jumped on him. They were shouting at him, ‘Get down on the floor.’”

Following the incident, Charles and Camilla, who weren’t home at the time the man exposed his threats, posted on their official Instagram account. They wrote, “Three days to go… #Coronation.”

The suspect placed a bag by the gates to the palace grounds. Inside, there was a mobile phone, passports, bank cards, a laptop case, and a copy of the book The Happiness Advantage, about using positive psychology to “enhance individual achievement.”

“Specialists attended and, following an assessment, a controlled explosion was conducted as a precaution,” the Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

“Officers worked immediately to detain the man, and he has been taken into police custody. There have been no reports of any shots fired or any injuries. Further enquiries are ongoing.”

We hope there won’t be any incidents during the coronation.

9-year-old dies 10 minutes after posing with this note: Police soon discover terrible mistake that killed her

What was supposed to be the start of a new milestone for a 9-year-old named Payton Crustner turned into a tragedy which claimed her life.

Payton was starting fourth grade so her family thought it would nice to take a photo of their girl holding a sign with the date and the message “1st Day of 4 Grade” written on it. Payton was all smile when she posed, not knowing that her life would end mere minutes later.

Tragically, this beautiful young lady didn’t reach the classroom as she and her family got involved in a deadly car crash on their way to school. While Payton’s mom, 32-year-old Miranda, was driving the car, 18-year-old Marcus Wayne Dukes, who was driving on the highway when he turned left and veered into oncoming traffic, collided with Miranda’s car. At the moment of the crash, Payton was thrown out of the vehicle and was declared dead at the scene.

The rest of the passengers, including Miranda and a 3-year-old girl whose identity hadn’t been revealed sustained minor injuries. Miranda’s son was in a critical condition but was eventually released from the hospital. He wasn’t wearing a seat belt nor was the 3-year-old.

Miranda had a seat belt on when the accident happened, and Payton had one as well, but hers was a lower belt which failed to keep her safely strapped in.

A member of the grieving family started a GoFundMe page to help them with the funeral expenses which helped raise almost $18,000.

“Payton Lynn Crustner, 9 years old, was taken from this world this morning before her first day of 4th grade, please keep this family in your prayers,” the post read.

We are so very sorry for this tragic loss that serves as a reminder of the importance of wearing a seat belt, which is probably the most important safety feature in a car.

Former supermodel posts bikini photos at 57 years old and gets called desperate – her response shocks critics

NEW YORK, NY - FEBRUARY 07: Paulina Porizkova walks the runway for Jiri Kalfar during New York Fashion Week: The Shows at Industria Studios on Febraury 07, 2019 in New York City.

Aging is part of life, but not everyone accepts the fact that they are getting old and that their appearances changes. In order to stop this natural process, many people turn to plastic surgery.

Czech model Paulina Porizkova, who graced the runways for many years, is not one of them. This stunningly beautiful lady, who is now 57, gets candid about the process of getting older and says she stays away from injectables because she wants to embrace aging, and that “faces are for communicating.”

Speaking to People, Paulina said that at one point in her life she felt like “literally being an apple in a still life,” and that the point was to “look pretty.”

“You just kind of get polished, placed, be quiet, look pretty,” she recalled. “It was a little frustrating to me.”

Being part of the business since the age of just 13, Paulina said, “There’s all these other things I had wanted to do. I recognize that I was blessed to be put in this position and to have gotten so successful as I did. You don’t turn your nose up on that. That’s a gift.”

Shutterstock

Speaking of the modeling industry, she believes that one thing that needs to change is ‘ageism.’ “I felt ashamed to be ageing, and then on the other hand you go: ‘But I’m smarter, I’m better, I’m funnier, I’m more patient!” she shared with People. “Overall as a person, I’m the best I’ve ever been.”

Besides her age, she still poses in bikinis and posts her photos on the social media. “I am a 57-year-old woman, and it seems to mean, in society, when you go into your middle age, you sort of lose your license to be able to show up in bikinis too.” And despite receiving some mean comments at times, such as: “a desperate grandma” or “too old to be doing this,” she believes she has the right to wear whatever she feels comfortable in.

Getting old is certainly not a reason for her, or other people her age, to be dismissed. “You don’t get to dismiss me because I have some wrinkles and sags and grey hair now, when I’m kind of fabulous, the most fabulous I’ve ever been,” this beauty says. “In fact, I’m going to just put it out there and go, you know what, this is me at my best. Deal with it!”

Instead of turning to injectables and plastic surgery, she tries most noninvasive treatments she can find. In a conversation with WWD, she said, “I just want a little subtle help. I don’t want any drastic stuff. I don’t want to eliminate my age. I just want to look as good as I can given the limitations.”

Paulina’s desire is to be “an unaltered older woman.”

“What I like about my face now at 57, it’s that it’s like a really good novel of the history of my life, like it’s all written into my face,” she says.

Paulina is an inspiration to many. She loves aging gracefully and she believes that’s something we should all accept.

Waitress receives $4,400 tip from happy customer – what her employee did next is so out of order

Grant Wise, a real estate businessman, has come up with the ‘$100 club’ during the pandemic. The idea behind this ‘club’ is that he and his friends tip $100 to servers at restaurants in order to make their days enjoyable and thank them for the service.

Recently, he and some other businessmen decided to have dinner at Oven & Tap in Bentonville, north-west Arkansas. According to Wise, before he made a reservation, he called the place in order to establish what the tipping policy was. He was then told that waiters and waitresses don’t split their takings.

Once at the restaurant, he and the rest of the executives left a generous tip of $4,400 to waitress Ryan Brandt and told her to split it with her colleague who needed to leave early because she wasn’t feeling fine.

Needless to say, Brandt was left speechless. She couldn’t believe her eyes when Wise handed her the thick wad of cash.

Rebecca Soto, one of the people accompanying Wise, filmed the entire thing and uploaded the clip on Instagram with the caption: “I’m humbled to have been part of something so beautiful and generous. To bless someone else without previously knowing them.

“I have been blessed, so it is wonderful to pay it forward and bless someone else.

“God bless all who contributed and the servers who received it. I pray it may be multiplied and impact their life for the better.”

In the video, Wise could be seen giving the money to Brandt and saying, “Everybody at this table has contributed or tipped $100 for you, and for the other waitress, who unfortunately had to go home because she wasn’t feeling well.

“And then we put it out to our social media channels, and we actually had quite a bit more money sent in. So we are tipping you a total of $4,400 for you to split with the other girl that took care of us.”

Credit: Instagram/@rebeccasoto_legacy

Sadly, Brandt’s happiness was short lived as her manager asked her to give him the money and keep just 20 per cent.

She complained, and somehow Wise learned of what the manager wanted to do so he asked the money back and then gave them to Brandt again but this time, he did it outside the restaurant.

Sadly, shortly after, she was fired for accepting the money. Brandt said Oven & Tap told her that she was fired because she disclosed information to Wise about splitting the tip with her coworkers, which violated the restaurant’s policy, KNWA reported.

Learning of this, Wise and his compassionate colleagues started a GoFundMe page for Brandt which raised $8,700 in a matter of days.

Credit: Instagram/@rebeccasoto_legacy

Oven & Tap, meanwhile, issued a statement on the matter, claiming that they had “honored” Wise’s table’s request that the tips go to Ryan and her colleague.

“After dining, this large group of guests requested that their gratuity be given to two particular servers,” the restaurant said.

“We fully honored their request. Out of respect for our highly valued team members, we do not discuss the details surrounding the termination of an employee.”

Coronation tragedy: Wife of key player dies just days before King Charles historic event

After more than 70 years, Britain will witness a coronation taking place when Charles would officially be crowned a King in a couple of days.

However, besides Charles, his wife Camilla will also be given a new, more significant role, that of Queen Consort.

The much-awaited coronation is set to take place on May 6, which happens to be the birth date of Archie, Harry and Meghan’s son.

When late Queen Elizabeth was crowned in 1954, over 8,000 guests were in attendance at the coronation, and 129 nations were officially represented. King Charles is now allegedly planning to significantly reduce that number on his coronation, according to reports.

The coronation, which is given the code-name “Operation Golden Orb,” will take place at Westminster Abbey, conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.

The statement regarding this special event Britain hasn’t seen since June 2, 1953, when Queen Elizabeth became the head of monarchy, states that King Charles’ coronation “will reflect the monarch’s role today and look towards the future, while being rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry.”

Further, the statement reads that “The Coronation is a solemn religious service, together with an occasion for celebration and pageantry.

“Across the Coronation Weekend, there will be further opportunities for people to come together in celebration of the historic occasion. On Sunday, May 7 2023, a special Coronation Concert will be staged and broadcast live at Windsor Castle by the BBC and BBC Studios, with several thousand pairs of tickets to be made available via public ballot,” Buckingham Palace added.

“The Coronation Big Lunch, at which neighbors and communities are invited to share food and fun together, will take place across the country on the same date.”

Camilla would be crowned with Queen Mary’s Crown, which is set with 2,200 diamonds and was worn by Queen Mary for the coronation alongside her husband, King George V, in 1911. The crown would be altered so that is honors late Queen Elizabeth. According to some, the headpiece will be replaced with diamonds Cullinan III, IV, and V, which belonged to the late Queen’s personal jewelry collection.

Harry is not expected to participate in the famous celebration on the Buckingham Palace balcony because those places are reserved for the working royals only. Military historian Dr. Peter Johnston, says Harry could be in for an uncomfortable and humiliating dilemma.

As per True Royalty TV, Johnson claimed Harry might even get banned from wearing his uniform.

“Even as a veteran who did two tours in Afghanistan, he won’t wear uniform,” Jonhston said, as quoted by the Mirror.

“I imagine he’ll wear his medals but quite where he fits within the procession and where he comes, I think will be probably reasonably similar to where he was at the funeral as well.”

The coronation is believed to cost around $120 million. According to a recent YouGov survey, only 32% of the Brits agree that the government should fund the coronation, while others believe that the royals should pay for it themselves.

Mere days before the great event, the royal family received some tragic news. The Duchess of Buccleuch, Lady Elizabeth Kerr, wife of the Duke of Buccleuch, Richard Scott, suddenly passed away recently at age 68.

Scott was given a significant role in the coronation, to carry the Sceptre with Cross during the service. As of now, it remains unknown whether or not he will take that role.

According to the family, The Duchess of Buccleuch died after a short illness. She and Scott, whose grandmother was Princess Margaret, married back in 1981. She held a bachelor’s degree in sociology from the London School of Economics and worked at BBC Radio 4 and later on BBC Radio Solway after marrying the Duke.

“The Duke of Buccleuch and his family have announced that, very sadly, on Sunday morning, the duchess died after a short illness following an operation,” Benny Higgins, executive chairman of Buccleuch, said in a statement.

“The duchess was the most wonderful, life-enhancing spirit and our hearts go out to the family as they come to terms with their loss.”

Throughout her life, The Duchess of Buccleuch was involved with several charities, including being the chairwoman of the Scottish Ballet and the Heritage Education Trust, as well as a trustee of the National Museums of Scotland and the British Museum.
