The Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts recently introduced Chewbacca, nicknamed Chewy, who they describe as a funny fella who loves everyone. “This adorable mutt is built like an oversized Shih Tzu and weighs 25 lbs. Since he was found as a stray and never claimed, we don't know much about his past.” Chewy has a personality as unique as his looks. "He is overly friendly with all, dogs included. He can come on a bit strong but in the kindest way. He wants everyone to be his friend!" states the Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts, who is currently caring for Chewy until he finds his forever home.

Cambridge professor claims that if 1,000,000 people read this book the view of African descendants would change in a heartbeat. We've seen images since the days of Josephine Baker of Black Americans finding entertainment success and happiness in Europe and Asia. Black Americans live as expats globally, playing sports, performing, teaching, and as business owners. In stark contrast viral videos show Africans and Caribbeans berated and beaten in Asia and Europe.

The Scituate Animal of Massachusetts recently introduced a 10-month-old lab named Finn who they describe as "the worlds biggest goofball". The local animal shelter explains that Finn "comes with some quirks but from what we've seen, is overall a friendly and goofy lab puppy". His friendly nature extends to his potential canine companions. In fact, the shelter believes it would be "hugely beneficial for Finn to live with a playful, larger dog so he can get some of his energy out appropriately."

It’s a fair question: Have people experiencing homelessness moved to Denver for a free hotel room?. At least one man did. The mother of a missing man messaged me the other day to tell me she is looking for her son. She said he moved back to Denver from Florida thinking he could get a free hotel room as part of Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s House1000 plan. Of course, those rooms all are full now. Also, most people who received the rooms were in established encampments that the mayor swept. There never were any rooms for people who might move to Denver one week to be housed the next.
