The Shark Deck. I'm Jenny Mack with five good news stories. Hey,
good news. If you like Golden retrievers, I sure do well. Hundreds
of Golden Retrievers gathered at a Scottish estate to celebrate one hundred and fifty five
years of the breed. The dogs and their owners met up for a picnic,
as golden retrievers do, and they played traditional games such as haggis,
hurling and tug of war. Golden Retriever owners on social media declared it a
wonderful event and the best day ever. They raised a toast to Lord Tweedmouth,
who was understood to have bred the first Golden retriever at his Scottish estate
in the early eighteen sixties. Hey good news for Timothy Shattuck. He and
his dog were rescued after three months a drift at sea. Yeah I saw
a picture of this guy. Wow. A tuna troller found him and rescued
him. He was treated by the ship's doctor. He said, I'm needing
rest in good food because I've been alone and see such a long time.
Otherwise, I'm in good health. He left Sydney in May on a catamaran.
He was heading to French Polynesia, but bad weather knocked out all his
electronics and he was soon lost at sea. He protected himself from sunburn by
hiding under a canopy and even managed to catch enough fish with the geriat on
board for him and his dog bell At to survive over two months at sea.
Rain water kept them alive. In July, the Tuna trollers helicopter spotted
them and he was brought back to Mexico. Wow. Officials in Annapolis were
running low on suitable land for solar power projects, so they decided to day,
let's put it on top of the old garbage dump. These sixty two
acre landfill closed in nineteen ninety three and just was sitting there. Today the
landfill is captain covered with grass and they put fifty thousand solar energy modules with
a total capacity of eighteen megawatts on top. The only clue to its past
or the venting pipes that poke out of the ground intermittently. It's released gas
emitted by the decomposing waste below. Good news for the okapi. The birth
of a raiocapai at a zoo is inspiring hope for one of the least understood
endangered species on Earth. Zookeepers through a coming out party for the baby calf
of an Okapi couple, a rare birth from one of the least known and
understood species on the planet, known as the forest giraffe. The endangered mammal
was born at the Chester Zoo to a ten year old mother and a twenty
year old male named Stump. The calf is named Arabi Rabbi's Namesake. Is
a village located in the Ocopy Wildlife Reserve located inside the Democratic Republic of Congo.
It's estimated that fewer than ten thousand remain in the wild. Hannah Owens
is an Ocopy keeper at the Chester Zoo and said every birth is incredibly special.
Indeed, Mom's been doing a fantastic job of feeding and nurturing her calf
every day. I am Patty Callahan, Henry, I am Mary kay Andrews,
