Miami guide dog dubbed a "hero" with award
Eddie, a 3-year-old Labrador Retriever from Miami, is not just a good boy. He's a "hero dog," according to the American Humane Society, who announced the guide dog had received an award for helping his human and inspiring others. Driving the news: Eddie and his human Luis Rodriguez have inspired thousands through their advocacy for the blind and visually impaired community. The two are best known as " Miami Guy and His Guide Dog " on social media. Rodriguez, who navigated progressive vision loss caused by Retinitis Pigmentosa, was paired with Eddie through Dogs Inc., giving him the confidence and support to navigate the world independently. The American Humane Hero Dog Awards is a nationwide competition that searches for and recognizes America's standout dogs in five categories: Therapy Dogs; Service and Guide Dogs; Military Dogs; Law Enforcement and First Responder Dogs; and Shelter Dogs. Eddie won in the Service and Guide/Hearing Dog category. What's next: Eddie and the four other finalists will be honored at a gala in Washington, D.C. next month.

A look at five positions where Hurricanes coaches need to consider changes
No, the sky is not falling. There was no shame in the Canes’ 31-24 loss at Notre Dame — considering the quality of opponent — and UM still has every opportunity to make the playoffs and do something when it gets there. But the coaching staff faces some difficult decisions, the type of decisions it made in recent weeks when it removed disappointing nickel corner Omar Thornton from the starting group. Five personnel issues that need evaluating in the wake of both Saturday’s game and recent developments: ▪ Should UM further reduce Damon Wilson’s playing time? Wilson, UM’s priciest defensive addition in the portal, seemingly has entered Witness Protection. He has played 71 defensive snaps during the past three games and has no sacks, one tackle and two quarterback pressures (which were achieved in 20 pass rushing chances against Notre Dame). He has a mind-boggling six tackles in 297 defensive snaps and eight games and just one during the past four games. That’s stunning for a player that ESPN projected as a potential mid-first-round pick in August. Meanwhile, Armondo Blount has one sack in the past six games and mustered just one pressure in 27 pass-rushing snaps on Saturday. But

Known for its panoramic views of Biscayne Bay, the Miami River and the downtown skyline, the restaurant has been redesigned by RoseBernard Studio. The new look includes of stone, sculptural wall treatments and greenery in a room that opens out onto the outdoor terrace, highlighting the views that launched a thousand (or more) photos. The idea is to project coastal vibes throughout the space, with what lies beyond the restaurant informing the style itself. That works for the menu as well. The water — the bay, the river — is the inspiration for much of the menu, according to executive chef Alvaro Rayon de Jaime. “Miami’s relationship with the water gives us an extraordinary starting point,” he said. “I wanted the menu to reflect that sense of place while staying true to the simplicity I value in Spanish and Mediterranean cooking.” That means you can expect plenty of seafood as well as Florida produce.
