Veteran known as ‘Cowboy Dave' brings hope to tornado survivors
LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. (FOX 56) — When disaster strikes, most people run from the chaos. Cowboy Dave runs toward it. Dave Graham, better known as 'Cowboy Dave,' is a military veteran on a mission — traveling across the country in a pickup truck and camper, bringing comfort to communities hit by crisis. His latest stop: London, Kentucky, where an EF-4 tornado tore through homes, lives, and livelihoods just weeks ago. Investigation underway after KSP trooper shoots, kills man Veteran known as 'Cowboy Dave' brings hope to tornado survivors Lancaster native hopes to put an end to 'period poverty' in Kentucky 'I move in with the community — as close to the disaster as I can,' Dave said. 'I live with them. I feel it. And they sense that. They know it's genuine.' With his trademark cowboy hat and ever-open camper door, Dave stands out. But it's his presence, not his appearance, that leaves the biggest impact. Through his nonprofit, Hearts Hurt, Cowboy Dave has responded to more than 30 major disasters, including 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, the Maui fires, and flooding in Eastern Kentucky. What sets him apart? He does it all on his own dime, using his military pension to fund the mission. 'People knock on my camper and say, 'Cowboy, you want to talk?' I'm like, 'Absolutely,'' he said. 'It's a military thing — you do what it takes, for as long as it takes.' Airbnb generates an estimated $590 million in Kentucky in 2024 Study shows Kentucky among the poorest states Kentucky's most misspelled word, according to study Local residents say his arrival brought an unexpected sense of calm. 'Oh, he's a character,' said Matthew Cawood, who survived the recent tornado. 'It can be pouring rain and he's out there, waving at cars and talking to everyone, saying, 'Bring your Bible or bring your beer, I'll take you either way.' He just gets people.' Cowboy Dave's work isn't about recognition. It's about restoration — of hope, of humanity, and of hearts that hurt. 'When you create life in the middle of death and disaster, people are drawn to it,' he said. 'It's been a blessing for me. But it's not about me — it's about them.' Latest central Kentucky weather forecast As long as there's a need, Cowboy Dave said he'll keep showing up. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

‘Leave fawns alone': Ohio Division of Wildlife issues another alert
**Related Video Above: Ohio troopers rescue baby deer from side of busy highway (Credit: Ohio State Highway Patrol) CLEVELAND (WJW) — The Ohio Division of Wildlife is continuing to ask people to go against their instinct and leave baby deer in place should they come upon any that appear abandoned. 'You took this from a 4-year-old': Parma grandfather's plea after flamingo stolen 'Please leave fawns alone,' the Division of Wildlife wrote in a Facebook post Monday, along with a photo similar to the one below: 'This is completely normal behavior for a deer fawn, and human intervention is unnecessary,' the division said in the post. This was a reiteration of a post from earlier this spring urging Ohioans to leave the little deer in peace. Rescue photos: Deer gets stuck on rocks behind Rock Hall Mother deer reportedly do not spend a lot of time with their nearly scentless offspring in order to keep fawns safe from predators. Often in cities, that means fawns appear to be left behind near people's homes and gardens, but their mothers will visit multiple times a day. If you believe a fawn has actually been abandoned or is in danger, reach out to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator in your area. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
