Good news, sappy stories every day, calyin what you got.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
So deputies from the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office responded to
a call at about six pm about a nine year
old boy with autism named Elijah who was missing, having
slipped away from his family's home without his parents' knowledge.
So the officers were able to locate the child within
two hours of the report with the help of safety Net,
a geolocation technology that helps them track and find missing

(00:25):
and endangered people, particularly people with cognitive disorders. So they
found Elijah sitting in the bed of a truck, but
he didn't want to go home, and he kept telling
them that he needed a tire for his bike. That's
when one of the officers struck up a deal. Hey
told him, if you promise to stop running away and
you show me where your bike is at home, I

(00:46):
will blow up the air for you on your tire.
I guess it had gone out, and he just kept repeating,
I need a bike tire. I need a bike tire.
And then the officer asked, you wear a helmet. He said,
I don't wear a helmet. The officer said, okay, I'm
going to buy you a helmet. I am going to
fix your bike. We're gonna shake on it, and you're
going to promise that you're not going to run away
as much from home or ever again. So they shook
on it and there's really sweet video and photos of

(01:08):
them taking him home. They fix his bike, they bought
him a helmet, and he hasn't run away since.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
So sweet. Do you think that isn't good? That is sweet? Yeah.
Groom surprised his bride on their wedding day with a
very special ring bear. It was a penguin. Oh, he
got a penguin. What the dud's name is, Joe? He
ranged for four special guests for the ceremony where he
tied the knot in England last month. His wife's now
wife's name is Carrie. Has always been penguin obsessed. She

(01:37):
was over the moon when she first spotted the feathered
bird walking in beside the best man. Because they do
have feathers. By the way penguins have feathers doesn't really
look like it when you look at a penguin. They
got feathers though. Anyway. He paid two grand to have
the penguins at ten for two hours. I guess it's
a company called Amazing Animals that has a wildlife for

(01:59):
movies and TV and it's a charity as well and
they raise money. But yeah, she wanted a penguin at
the wedding as the ring bear. And it had like
a little necklace. The penguin did and his little little wings,
little arms, flatting tuxedo and he had a tuxedo on already,
a built in tuxedo. I thought it was very sweet.
The photos are awesome too,
