🐶 Dog Saved on Highway

Good morning. It’s been a week full of remarkable moments and inspiring breakthroughs. A stray dog’s dash through a Boston tunnel brought commuters together in a heartwarming rescue, while a teenager’s honesty in Australia sparked a wave of generosity and hope.

Meanwhile, scientists are looking to camels and alpacas for a new way to fight Alzheimer’s, and recyclers in the UK are turning old electronics into gold with greener technology.

A stray dog brought Boston’s Ted Williams Tunnel to a standstill during rush hour, capturing the attention and concern of commuters and police alike. The black-and-white pup was spotted trotting along the tunnel, dodging traffic and danger.

Police responded quickly after a Good Samaritan reported the situation. Surveillance footage showed officers and drivers waiting patiently as one officer tried to coax the hesitant dog into a patrol car.

After a brief, playful standoff, the dog finally hopped in, allowing traffic to resume. Authorities have since issued a notice in hopes of finding the dog’s owner.

This heartwarming rescue is a reminder of the compassion people show for animals in need.

A UK startup is transforming e-waste recycling by using room-temperature solvents instead of energy-intensive smelting. This method selectively dissolves valuable metals like gold and copper, leaving plastics behind and reducing emissions.

With most e-waste still unrecycled, these innovations help recover critical resources and support national security.

The Royal Mint is also extracting gold from circuit boards, turning it into coins that back a gold ETF, offering a greener investment option.

Scientists have discovered that unique nanobodies from camels and alpacas could help treat Alzheimer’s. These tiny antibody-like proteins can cross the blood-brain barrier more easily than conventional antibodies, offering hope for more effective therapies with fewer side effects.

Early studies in mice show promise for treating neurological conditions. Researchers are now working to ensure these nanobodies are safe and effective for human use.

If successful, this innovation could mark a new era in the treatment of brain disorders.

Seventeen-year-old Josh Pache found $3,500 outside a gas station on Australia’s Gold Coast and turned it in without hesitation. The grateful owner, Daniel McKellar, tracked Josh down and rewarded him with $1,000 and a job offer.

Touched by Josh’s honesty, McKellar also started a GoFundMe to help Josh buy a truck, raising over $10,000.

McKellar paid the kindness forward by donating the rest of his recovered money to a cancer patient’s fundraiser.

87 years ago today, the Lion’s Gate Bridge officially opened in Vancouver, British Columbia, creating a vital link across Burrard Inlet between the city and the North Shore. Stretching nearly 6,000 feet, the elegant suspension bridge, named for the twin concrete lions guarding its entrance, was privately financed by the Guinness family of Dublin, who saw its construction as an investment in Vancouver’s future. Designed by Montreal firm Monsarrat and Pratley, it was completed during the Great Depression in just five years.

In an act of gratitude, the Guinness family sold the bridge to the Province of British Columbia in 1955 for the exact cost of construction, just under $5.9 million, without charging a cent of profit. Today, the Lion’s Gate remains one of Canada’s most photographed landmarks, carrying over 60,000 vehicles daily and symbolizing both civic pride and timeless engineering beauty.
