Bentley Basset Hound: Hello! It is great to be back behind the anchor desk. We have been searching for some stories to put a smile on your face and I am happy to say we succeeded. Pierre, what’s our top story?”

Pierre Westie: “Our fierce winter weather can be dangerous not just for pets but for humans too. A Michigan woman could very well owe her life to two insistent Labradoodles. They woke their family up early wanting to go outside, even tugging on their clothes to rush them. The reason for the panic was obvious when they opened the door. An 80-year-old woman was on the freezing ground dressed only in her nightgown.

   Temperatures were around 9º F so the family quickly brought her indoors and bundled her up in blankets. Thankfully, her relieved family showed up and explained they had been searching for her but couldn’t see her on the ground in the dark. Those Labradoodles are true heroes!”

Bentley: “Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. This was proven once again when an abandoned lynx was adopted by a mother house cat. She was skeptical at first but soon began the same motherly love she exhibited to her own kittens. These two are different breeds and sizes but are completely accepting of each other. Sure, the lynx will be much bigger than its ‘mom’ but don’t a lot of children outgrow their moms?”

Pierre: “I have seen it many times with animals and humans. Speaking of animals and humans, Delta airline is cracking down on the influx of fake ‘emotional support’ animals. The lack of regulation has led to an 84% increase in animal-related issues on flights. Problems such as biting, urination, aggression and attacks have been reported.      You’ve probably seen pics of emotional support snakes, roosters, ducks and even miniature horses on planes. It really gets me steamed because I can’t fly unless I go below and that is not happening! 

   Although the new rules are earth-shattering, they are a step in the right direction. People will have to provide a letter stating their animal can behave and is properly trained. They will also need to provide a current letter from a mental health professional along with a shot record for their pet.

   How is the weather looking for air travel this week, Paisley?”

Paisley Weather Lab: “It won’t be as bitterly cold as it was last week. That arctic blast was crazy but I’m glad to report the south will be fair and mild. Our temperatures will be normal for this time of year in the 40 to 60’s F. 

   The southwest will also be fair but there will be scattered rain and showers along the west coast. It is still very cold in the north with snow expected. Over on the east coast, the northeast will have some scattered showers but will have some nice days too. Dry and cool weather is expected in the southeast with Florida once again feeling like Florida in the winter.

   As always, check with the meteorologist in your area for updates or warnings. Have a grrr-eat week!”
