Boxer dog jumps into action as French bulldog pal experiences epileptic attack: Watch
No human was around when Yogi, a French bulldog, suddenly started experiencing a seizure at home. However, an unlikely hero came to his aid, which may be why he is still alive.
Yogi, who has severe epilepsy, was home in Milford, Connecticut, with his brother Reggie, a 16-month-old boxer, when he started seizing.
With no human in sight, Reggie jumped into action and kept Yogi upright and moving, their owner, Sarah McArdle Strilka, told Storyful.
'My French bulldog, Yogi, has severe epilepsy,' Strilka told Storyful. 'As soon as Yogi started seizing when I wasn't home, Reggie jumped into action.'
Security camera footage from the incident shows a worried Reggie fussing over Yogi and moving him around, constantly trying to keep his buddy upright. All the movement and attention saved Yogi from aspirating long enough for Strilka to get home.
Despite having limited experience, Reggie was able to keep Yogi alive for three hours, Strilka said, adding that the boxer had only been present for Yogi's epilepsy attacks once before.
'If it wasn't for Reggie, Yogi would not be alive today,' she told Storyful.

Confirmed: Breakfast Cereals Are Getting Sweeter And Less Nutritious
Millions of us dig into them every morning, but breakfast cereals are getting progressively worse for our health, according to a new study – having grown sweeter and less nutritious over the past decade or so. It's a worry for everyone, but particularly for kids: the majority of young people in the US choose cereal as their preferred breakfast option, over more labor-intensive alternatives such as pancakes, waffles, and French toast. Researchers from several institutions across the US looked at the ingredients of ready-to-eat (RTE) cereals launched in the United States between 2010 and 2023, and marketed towards children aged between 5 and 12 years old. That gave them more cereals than you might expect – a total of 1,200 – though rebrands and repackaging were included. The nutrient content of servings of these cereals were then analyzed through database information, and tracked over time. "Analysis of newly launched children's RTE cereals from 2010 to 2023 revealed concerning nutritional shifts: notable increases in fat, sodium, and sugar alongside decreases in protein and fiber," write the researchers in their published paper. Total fat per serving, for example, rose from 1.13 grams to 1.51 grams over the study period, a jump of 33.6 percent. Average sugar content, meanwhile, went up from 10.28 grams in 2010 to 11.40 grams in 2023, a 10.9 percent increase. Sodium is up too, from 156 milligrams to 206.1 milligrams on average (up 32.1 percent). While this has been happening, the healthier nutrients in cereals are trending down: both protein and fiber levels have dropped significantly in recent years. It seems cereals are becoming more like salty, sugary snacks than anything else. On average, a single serving of the cereals included in the analysis would provide more than 45 percent of the daily recommended sugar limit for children. "These trends suggest a potential prioritization of taste over nutritional quality in product development, contributing to childhood obesity and long-term cardiovascular health risks," write the researchers. It's worth bearing in mind that this study only looks at newly launched (or relaunched) cereals, and doesn't take into account what else kids might be eating throughout the rest of the day. Nevertheless, it's a worrying trend. We know that diet and nutrition is an important part of making sure kids grow up healthy and strong, and that includes breakfast. Childhood obesity in the US is now affecting one in five kids, and is on the rise. As the researchers explained to the New York Times, there's a disconnect between the health claims being made on the front of cereal packets and what's actually included in the box. That makes it harder for parents to choose the right option. Right now, cereal makers in the US don't have to follow any special regulations beyond the basic health and safety requirements for their products, though slapping a 'healthy' label on the packet does come with some guidelines attached. "Given their widespread consumption and potential impact on childhood nutrition, understanding trends in cereal composition is crucial for public health," write the researchers. The research has been published in JAMA Network Open.

A Nationwide Recall Affecting Thousands of Pounds of Beef Tallow Was Just Issued—Here's What to Know
A Nationwide Recall Affecting Thousands of Pounds of Beef Tallow Was Just Issued—Here's What to Know originally appeared on Parade. Beef tallow becoming the hottest food trend was not on my 2025 bingo card, but here we are. Everywhere you look these days, the byproduct of cooked cow's kidney and loin meat is being touted as a miracle fat worthy of both frying the best French fries you've ever had and slathering on your face as part of a game-changing skincare routine. Restaurants are switching to using it in favor of seed oils, and there are even protein bars chock-full of the stuff, but how did we get here? Can it really hydrate your skin better than Tatcha's The Dewy Skin Cream, and is it really better than using seed oils? 😋😋SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter🍳🍔 The jury's still out on both of those claims, but that hasn't stopped influencers and government officials alike from singing its praises as the equivalent of this century's gold rush. Never mind the fact that beef tallow was heavily abandoned during the early 90s due to its high concentration of saturated fat, or the fact that there is no real scientific evidence that suggests that beef tallow has any actual benefits for your skin. Sure, everything is fine in moderation, and you can bet it'll make for some finger-licking good fries, but it probably won't cure your hyperpigmentation, will, however, make you smell like a burger, and if that sounds like a plus, by all means, you do you. Of course, you might second-guess reaching for that giant tub of beef fat when you see that the FDA has issued a nationwide recall on beef tallow and pork lard products due to claims that products distributed across the country were not inspected by the USDA. Sulu Organics, LLC., a distributor in Illinois, issued a recall on 6,166 pounds of its products after several consumer complaints were made to FSIS claiming that the products did not bear the USDA inspection mark. Upon further investigation, FSIS determined that the distributor purchased the products from a regulated facility and repackaged the products into smaller containers that were relabeled without FSIS inspections. Although there have been no reports of illness or adverse reactions, consumers are urged to discard any affected products or return them to the point of purchase for a full refund. You can find the complete list of items affected by the recall here.
