“He’s lonely, so I just went inside and sat in the stall with him for half an hour, and he liked that because nobody likes to be alone when you’re a herd animal,” she said.Buturovic, who runs the dog rescue shelter, took some of her canines to Harvilicz’s old hospital and others to a friend’s home in Venice.

By the time she returned to the Topanga ranch Wednesday morning, it had burned. The cement building that withstood two or three other fires since the 1950’s was covered in soot, its roof gone and windows blown out. Her ponies disappeared, along with two semi-feral dogs she fed.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — An iconic pet reindeer beloved by many in Alaska’s largest city has been euthanized, just weeks afterhis caretaker said Wednesday.

“I don’t have an answer as to why he had to be put down other than it relates back to what happened,” said Albert Whitehead, who cared not only for the 8-year-old reindeer named Star but also the decades-long tradition of having a reindeer in downtown Anchorage.

Star lived in a fenced-in pen attached to Whitehead’s house on a busy street at the edge of downtown. But starting in early January, someone began tampering with the friendly reindeer and his pen.“The patients pushed us to go ahead,” agreed Dr. Tatsuo Kawai, a Mass General surgeon who’d been reluctant to even broach the idea – but last March, four months after that meeting, gave a longtime patient the first gene-edited pig kidney.

In Palm Springs, California, Carl McNew emailed NYU to ask about volunteering while he’s still fairly healthy.McNew donated a kidney to his husband in 2015 but later his remaining kidney began declining, something very rare in living donors. Medications and intermittent dialysis are helping but McNew knows he’ll eventually need a transplant.
