A type of bird called an ivory-billed woodpecker was thought to be extinct.  But a group of researchers just spotted one on a wildlife camera they set up near a trail in Louisiana.  The last confirmed sighting was way back in 1944………….. A homeless guy in Phoenix named Joseph Collins recently saved a woman and her two daughters from a fire.  They were asleep in their second-floor apartment when she woke up and saw flames. Joseph heard her calling for help and scaled a fence into her yard.  She had to drop each kid from a window, and he caught both of them.  He also caught her two dogs, and then she jumped down.  She says he absolutely saved their lives…………………And finally………. 

Almost the entire town of Dupont, Pennsylvania came outside to witness the final walk of a local dog named Mellow, who was recently diagnosed with a fast-spreading lymphoma. Mellow’s owner put notes in people’s mailboxes to spread the word about the dog’s last walk . . . and it was a success. One neighbor said, “There were at least 25 people [on the first block].  When I looked to the next block, there was another 20.  I’m going to say that was how the whole walk went.”  (Here’s Mellow’s owner talking about the walk.)
