Speaker 1 (00:03):
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five
good news stories. Good news for older dogs. The Gray
Muzzle Organization has announced that they are giving one point
five to seven million dollars in grants to one hundred
and nineteen animal welfare groups in the United States. Denise
Fleck is the director of the organization and says, if
(00:25):
fifty is the new thirty for humans, why not for
our older best friends. Senior dogs have so much life
to live and love to give, and yet they're often
last to be adopted and the first at risk when
shelters run out of space. Grant recipients in thirty three
states can now fund medical and dental care adoptions, foster homes,
hospice programs. Two of the grant recipients this year are
(00:46):
Saar's Promise, which was founded in honor of Zora the Dog,
and the Golden Bark Foundation, founded in twenty twenty two
and run entirely by volunteers. Do you like frogs, Well,
apparently there are three a few types of frogs. Well,
I don't think the frogs are new, just we didn't
know about them. Three new types of frogs were discovered
(01:06):
during off road scientific expeditions in the Andes Mountains. Herpetologist
Herman Chavez led the research and said they're small and unassuming,
but these frog are powerful reminders of how much we
still don't know about the Andes. Let me see if
I can get this right. One of the frogs is
named Pristamantis Chinguelis. That frog was discovered on a cliff
side and has a body dotted with prominent large tubercles
(01:29):
on both sides. Its high pitched peep can be heard
on human knights. Another frog is the Pristamantis Nunas Cortes
that has large black blotches on its axilli and groins,
named after ornithologist Elio Nunez Cortes. Oh, I see the
Nunias Cortes. I like that. That's cool. Nunia's Cortes was
(01:50):
a conservation trailblazer in the region. That's awesome, and the
smallest of the three frogs was found nestled at a
chilly altitude of ninety eight hundred feet, is the p
yungke Yo nke Its name is a no to young
k yon Que, which is a sugarcane spirit consumed by
locals to brave the cold. I was starting to wonder
(02:11):
whatever happened to records, because I felt like, for like
six months, every episode of the show had me telling you, hey,
somebody broke a record, and then they were like three
weeks with no records. Records are back, babe. A Washington
woman has earned the Guinness World Record for her collection
of four thou sixty different jigsaw puzzles. You know that
doesn't sound like that many, Like I'm not even trying,
(02:32):
and I think I have like eight in the house. Liza,
it's sold Guinness. She started collecting puzzles in twenty nineteen.
I mean, yeah, six seven years, so you could probably
break this record. No offense, e Liza, even she says,
I didn't set out to break the world record. I
just fell in love with puzzling, but not just any puzzles,
Ravensburger puzzles. I love their quality, their design, the history
of puzzles. It just became a passion. And what's a
(02:53):
Raisin Burger puzzle? I need to know more. I went
on the internet. People are searching for the question what
is so special about Ravensburger puzzles. The answer every piece
in a Ravens Burger puzzle is crafted to fit perfectly
with its adjacent pieces, ensuring a satisfying and frustration free experience.
Is that not all puzzles, or just maybe some puzzles
aren't that well made? Who knows the previous record in
(03:15):
our remine. The record is now four thy sixty. The
previous record was twenty twenty two. Now that seemed really assailable.
No good news for a retired Japanese racehorse, Ara Urrara
is twenty nine years old, retired from racing in two
thousand and four, and never ever won a race. The
horse was famous for wearing a Hello Kiddy mask and
(03:36):
losing every one of her one hundred and thirteen races. Well.
The horse is now famous thanks to a mobile game
which features anime style humanlike characters with horse ears and
tails engaging in track races. The fictional horror Urrara characters
bio states she's always smiling no matter how many times
she loses, she always tries her best and looks on
the brighter side of things. The game is called Uma
(03:59):
Musseimi Pretty Derby. If you'd like to visit the actual horse,
you can schedule visits on the farm's website and our
final story today. I guess this is more bad news
than good news. The headline a California woman's home has
been flooded with unwonted Amazon packages. Now, some immature people
who host really similar podcasts of this one might have
(04:21):
been sitting in their basement studio giggling at this. But
that's not cool, nothing funny about this at all. Now,
apparently every single box contains a fake leather carseat cover
from one particular brand and was sold by a Chinese
company on Amazon. Now what happened here is the woman's
address was listed as the company's addressed for returns. The
(04:43):
online seller. Reviews are filled with complaints about the seat
covers not fitting Amazon, and a statement said we've apologized
to the customer and are working directly with her to
pick up any packages while taking steps to permanently resolve
this issue. I guess seat covers aren't the worst thing.
Another woman in Virginia had the same issue. She received
a box containing one thousand I'll just describe them as
(05:06):
things made out of rubber. Use your imagination, and those
are your five good news stories for today. If you'd
