Dogs rescued in California after being tied up, stranded
(NewsNation) — Two dogs were rescued on Valentine's Day in California after they were tied up and left stranded in rising waters, according to the Galt Police Department.
Officers were called to the Dry Creek Preserve area about an animal cruelty case. The caller told police that two dogs were tied to a leash and stuck on an embankment with water rising quickly around them.
When officers arrived, they heard the dogs barking, but it was difficult to access them due to the flooding in the area. The fire department deployed a water rescue raft and rescued both dogs, a German Shepherd and a Belgian Malinois.
The dogs were taken by the Sacramento County Animal Control to be seen by a vet. The German Shepherd and the Belgian Malinois were scanned for microchips, and officers were able to identify the owner.
The Galt Police Department is investigating and working to locate the owner.

81 years later, veterans honor legacy of fallen D-Day heroes
(NewsNation) — Friday marks the 81st anniversary of D-Day, a pivotal moment in World War II that helped lead to the defeat of Nazi Germany. World War II veterans gathered in Normandy to honor those who gave their lives to end Nazi tyranny. Among the heroes remembered was Henry Langrehr, an Iowa native who parachuted into Normandy at age 19 and later stormed the beaches during D-Day. He endured immense hardship, including time as a prisoner of war, and died five weeks ago at 100. 'At that young age, answering the call of service, sacrificing everything he could for a land of unknown,' Command Sgt. Maj. Evan Lewandowski told 'Morning in America' from Normandy. 'They didn't have a real connection of belonging to it, but to do what they did and liberate the country, and the amazing sacrifice and heroic actions that took place.' Military zones at US-Mexico border could mean trespassing charges for migrants Lewandowski met Langrehr during last year's anniversary of D-Day. The two connected and walked through Sainte-Mère-Église, where Langrehr shared memories of his time there during the war. Nearly 160,000 Allied troops landed in Normandy on June 6, 1944, in the largest-ever armada of ships, troops, planes and vehicles to breach Hitler's defenses in western Europe. Of those, 73,000 were from the United States and 83,000 from Britain and Canada. Forces from several other countries were also involved, including French troops fighting with Gen. Charles de Gaulle. The Allies faced around 50,000 German forces. A total of 4,414 Allied troops were killed, including 2,501 Americans. More than 5,000 were wounded. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

And tucked into closets, cabinets and every corner of a Forest Hills apartment were 48 Belgian Malinois dogs — malnourished, matted and barely surviving. Now, their alleged keeper is facing nearly 100 counts of animal cruelty. Isaac Yadgarov, 37, turned himself in on May 13 and was arraigned on 96 misdemeanor charges for animal neglect and failure to provide proper sustenance, according to a statement from Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz. Officials say the horror was uncovered on May 8, when the NYPD, ASPCA and NYC's Animal Care Centers responded to a seventh-floor apartment after Yadgarov was evicted. Inside, responders allegedly found a hoarding scene "beyond comprehension," with dogs crammed into closets, cages and even kitchen drawers. Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?

"Animals are voiceless and vulnerable and deserve to be treated with basic care and decency." Yadgarov allegedly told investigators he was planning to surrender the dogs voluntarily, but after his eviction, he disappeared. If convicted, he faces up to a year behind bars. For now, rescuers say the dogs are beginning their long road to recovery. "They've suffered so much," one official said, per an ASPCA statement. "But at least they're safe now."
