Today’s Good News 2-28-24

Did you see the video of a horse galloping down I-95 in Philadelphia last week?  The good news is he’s okay, and the escape earned him a new name. He belongs to a charity called the Fletcher Street Urban Riding Club that offers inner-city kids a chance to go out and ride.  They got to choose a new name for him and went with “Freeway.”…… The new way to find a missing pet is to hire a drone operator to go look for them.  A reporter recently talked to a guy in New York who volunteers for a pet rescue group.  His $8,000 drone has a thermal cam that picks up body heat.  He’s found around 40 missing dogs in the past year…..And finally……………  

A Durham Public Schools bus driver named Deona Washington was honored after saving 28 middle school kids from a bus that caught fire this month.  She’s worked for the school district for 11 years, and she’s known some of the kids since they were really young. It took 11 Durham firefighters about 15 minutes to control the fire with the bus sustaining significant damage. “Ms. Washington is a true hero,” Brogden Middle School Principal Anthony White said. “Her instincts and quick actions saved the lives of our students. We are extremely grateful that she is part of the Brogden family.”
