1 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:08,800 The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack with five good News stories. As sheep 2 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,560 and duck have become best friends, they were rejected by their parents. Larry 3 00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:16,839 the Lamb and Del the Duck have grown inseparable, though they're often spotted grooming 4 00:00:16,879 --> 00:00:21,239 each other after finding common ground and their difficult upbringings. Shortly after Larry the 5 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:26,160 Lamb was born, he became increasingly distant from his lamb family. Around the 6 00:00:26,199 --> 00:00:30,039 same time, a farmhand rescued a duckling that had been abandoned by its family. 7 00:00:30,079 --> 00:00:33,320 They took an end and named a Dell. Katie Lester is an animal 8 00:00:33,359 --> 00:00:36,079 manager at the farm and decided to be a good idea to group the two 9 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,759 together. She says, we were worried that Larry the Lamb had some hearing 10 00:00:39,799 --> 00:00:42,759 issue that meant he was never properly accepted as a member of the flock. 11 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,240 When Del the Duck was brought in limping and abandoned, we thought they'd be 12 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,640 the perfect pair. Now they'd chat our away to each other and groom each 13 00:00:48,679 --> 00:00:51,439 other in the evening. It's lovely to see everyone that comes to visit the 14 00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:54,479 farm thinks it's lovely, and we're so glad It's worked out for them both. 15 00:00:54,799 --> 00:01:00,000 Congratulations to Ashraf Suleiman. He now has the guinnest world record four pulling 16 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,599 a truck with his teeth. Heaviest road vehicle pulled with teeth. He pulled 17 00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:10,519 a fifteen seven hundred and thirty kilogram truck. Now US Americans are like, 18 00:01:10,599 --> 00:01:12,079 we don't know how much that is, so I'm going to look it up 19 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:17,200 for US thirty four thousand, six hundred and seventy eight pounds with his teeth, 20 00:01:17,599 --> 00:01:19,560 he posted his feet on social media. One user wrote, bro, 21 00:01:19,719 --> 00:01:23,480 I need to find out who his dentist is, and another said his teeth 22 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:29,239 are stronger than my hands. An Australian teacher becoming famous for creating handmade stuff 23 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,359 toys for each of her students based on the drawings of monsters that the children 24 00:01:33,359 --> 00:01:36,359 made. One of the children's father is posted on social media is showing the 25 00:01:36,439 --> 00:01:40,159 drawing of the monster and the stuff's toy the teacher made my kids. Teacher 26 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,799 made toys for her class based on the drawings. Pay teachers more. The 27 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,799 dad also said I've been sold it's a thornosaur, so we know at least 28 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,599 one person. Like Jurassic World Dominion, a woman in China has left her 29 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:57,040 job to draw positive messages in the sand for people. She used to work 30 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,519 as a sales executive, but she took inspiration from someone left an inspirational message 31 00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:05,640 on a beach. She now makes fourteen hundred dollars a month working eight hours 32 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,159 a day. She used to post photos of her drawings on social media, 33 00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:10,680 but she wasn't sure if her work would be noticed. Within a week, 34 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,479 she received her first booking People are asking her do this. People started liking 35 00:02:15,479 --> 00:02:17,479 her art, which brought more business to her. She says the drawing job 36 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,719 gives her flexibility to work, to which she can take care of her family. 37 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,639 She's continuing to read about drawing on Santa Perfect her arts who produce better 38 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:35,280 crafted words and drawings. I am Patty Callahan Henry, I am Mary kay 39 00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:39,280 Andrews, I'm Kristin Harmel, and I'm Kristy Woodson Harvey.

I've 52 00:03:42,919 --> 00:03:46,039 actually been to Skagway, Alaska. Pretty cool place. Amaru is a five 53 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:51,479 year old rescue dog. He waits patiently on the family's front lawn in Skagway, 54 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,400 waiting for the bus to arrive each morning. This poor dog is a 55 00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:59,159 commute Gary. Hisman is Ameru's human and says, Amru got used to sitting 56 00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:00,520 in that spot. Even looks in the direction and he knows they're going to 57 00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:03,919 come from. Amru, along with about forty other dogs, is part of 58 00:04:03,919 --> 00:04:09,560 a playgroup organized by Moe Mountain Mutts, a local dog walking and training business 59 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,560 run by husband and wife duo Mo and Lee Thompson. The Thompson's lead off 60 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,759 Leash pack walks up to three times a day. Well is capture the attention 61 00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:20,560 to people worldwide or hilarious videos showing how they collect the dogs. Recent TikTok 62 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:26,959 showed several dogs confidently boarding the bus on their own with big wagon tails. 63 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,240 That video got fifty million views. The bus pulls up, you open the 64 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,680 door, and the dog hops in. Once entering the bus, the dogs 65 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,720 typically sniff around and greet the other canine passengers, just like my morning Commune 66 00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:44,120 in Manhattan, before climbing onto their assigned seat, which the Thompsons have trained 67 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,759 them to do. Can you do that with humans? Please? I like 68 00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:49,920 the window. Then their harness gets secured and the same process is repeated as 69 00:04:49,959 --> 00:04:54,000 the rest of the pack, about twelve dogs is picked up. The seats 70 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,600 are carefully selected based on factors such as a pup's personality, age and manners. 71 00:04:58,759 --> 00:05:00,279 Yeah, we need to do this with humans. I've let the dogs 72 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,319 stay off their cell phones too, thank you. When the dogs bore the 73 00:05:03,319 --> 00:05:08,279 bus, mode does a small obedience drill and passes out treats to reward good 74 00:05:08,319 --> 00:05:11,680 behavior. Maybe the bus driver could get munchkins or something for the humans. 75 00:05:11,879 --> 00:05:15,040 Once they're settling buckled in, they have to stay in their seats. If 76 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,040 you want to check this out, go on Instagram moa Mountain Mutts, m 77 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:23,360 O Mountain Mutts. The Thompson said being with dogs all day almost seems too 78 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,519 good to be true, and the online support they get as welcome bonus. 79 00:05:26,759 --> 00:05:30,000 MO says, it's the dream. I can't believe this is what we're doing 80 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:36,240 for a living. I have a great day. Hello.
