Boston beagle’s heroic rescue sparks community outcry against drug crisis

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 03:09:10 GMT

BOSTON, Mass. (WSVN) — A routine walk turned into a life-threatening for a dog owner and now, the incident has sparked conversations about the escalating drug crisis in the community.As Fynn, a 7-month-old beagle, sniffed the sidewalks on a Tuesday stroll, Nancy Rittenhouse discovered a ripped bag containing heroin. “Fynn is always trying to go after food and picking stuff up,” recalled Rittenhouse. “As I was pulling him away from the ice cream there was a ripped baggy.”Within minutes, Fynn collapsed in a dog park, prompting an emergency rush to the vet where Narcan saved his life.Disturbingly, this isn’t the first time Fynn has been exposed to drugs. “I don’t think as a community we need to accept that there’s heroin on the sidewalks as our kids and dogs are walking past,” said Rittenhouse. State Senator Nick Collins attributes the issue to an influx of drugs, pointing to homeless encampments and advocating for increased p...

Humanity just lived through the hottest 12 months in at least 125,000 years

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 03:09:10 GMT

(CNN) — Month after month since June, the world has been abnormally hot. Scientists have compared this year’s climate-change fallout to “a disaster movie” — soaring temperatures, fierce wildfires, powerful storms and devastating floods — and new data is now revealing just how exceptional the global heat has been.Two major reports published this week paint an alarming picture of this unprecedented heat: Humanity has just lived through the hottest 12-month period in at least 125,000 years, according to one, while the other declared that 2023 is “virtually certain” to be the hottest year in recorded history, after five consecutive months of record-obliterating temperatures.“We have become all too used to climate records falling like dominoes in recent years,” David Reay, executive director of the Edinburgh Climate Change Institute at the University of Edinburgh, told CNN. “But 2023 is a whole different ball game in terms of the massive ...

Should Red Sox make deal with the devil? Why trade with Yankees makes sense

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 03:09:10 GMT

Throughout their history the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees have rarely done business together, and why would they? As two of the fiercest rivals in professional sports the clubs have always striven to beat the other, so there’s rarely been an incentive to do anything that might help give the other an edge.That’s a big part of why the clubs have only swung seven trades with each other since 1969, according to MLB.com, but this offseason there may be a deal on the table so tantalizing it could be hard for either side to pass up.According to WEEI’s Rob Bradford, the Red Sox have identified Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres as a potential trade target and that the Yankees are interested in Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo. Whether any extensive discussions between new Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow and his Yankees counterpart Brian Cashman have taken place is unclear, but a swap would make a lot of sense for a variety of reasons.From the Red Sox ...

Shaun Wade ‘worthy of more opportunities’ with Patriots

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 03:09:10 GMT

FOXBORO — There’s been little clarity over the status of Patriots cornerbacks in the last week, but one thing is apparent as the team flies to Germany: little-known defensive back Shaun Wade should be taking on a bigger role Sunday against the Colts in Germany.Wade, a Ravens 2021 fifth-round pick out of Ohio State, started last Sunday’s loss to the Commanders over J.C. Jackson and Jack Jones, both of whom missed curfew to the team hotel Saturday. Jackson took over for Wade on the Patriots’ third defensive series, and Jones began to rotate into the defense starting in the second quarter. Wade barely played after the first two defensive drives.Jackson now won’t travel with the team to Germany this week over a lack of dependability. That will leave the Patriots with Wade, Jack Jones, Jonathan Jones, Myles Bryant and the newly signed Alex Austin at cornerback on the 53-man roster.“It’s going to be a bigger role no matter what happens,” Wad...
