Feel Good Story of the Week – Shelter Puppy No-one Wanted Saves Life of Elderly Man

A local man is alive thanks to his dog, Jack, who he says saved his life by waking him during a medical emergency, March 3, 2021. (KVAL)

EUGENE, OR – A stray puppy who languished unwanted in a shelter saved the life of an elderly man who finally gave it a chance. The 18-month-old dog, named Jack, woke up 66-year-old owner Tom Braun after noticing he’d begun choking in his sleep at his Eugene, Oregon, home earlier this month. Braun was stunned to wake up and find his T-shirt covered with his own blood, and realized a blood vessel had burst following previous dental work. Braun spent the next 48 hours in hospital, while next door neighbor Eli Holmes cared for Jack. Braun has sung Jack’s praises, and advised anyone who is older and lives alone to get their own dog to help keep them safe.

Box Office Recap – 03/08/2021

Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon, starring Kelly Marie Tran, led the weekend with $8.6 million, a less than robust opening that has execs worried. Raya’s start was 41% below last weekend’s Tom & Jerry opener, with $14.1 million. 

Tom & Jerry was also available free to HBO Max subscribers, while Disney was charging $30 for Disney+ subscribers. Many say that Cinemark’s refusal to play Raya amid Disney’s refusal to budge on terms and availability helped contribute to the tepid opener.

Feel Good Story of the Week: Principal Touches Up Student’s Hair After Boy Refuses To Take Off Hat

We’ve all had at least one bad haircut in our lives, and chances are we remember how that haircut made us feel. Jason Smith, the principal at Stonybrook Intermediate and Middle School in Indianapolis, understood that feeling, and that’s why it was a no-brainer to jump into action for one of his students. Anthony Moore was wearing a hat in school, which is against the dress code. After the student spoke with a school dean for about 30 minutes, Smith was asked to step in. He found out Moore had recently gotten a haircut and didn’t like the results. So Smith drove home to get his clippers and brought them to his office while Moore’s parents were called for consent to touch up his hair. After Smith’s touch up, Moore went through the day without his hat.
