Rescue Dog Was So Scared, She Couldn't Leave Crate—Now She's Unrecognizable
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A rescue dog too afraid to leave her kennel finally turned a corner with her foster family. When TikTok user @kierstenlynnb first rescued a white pit bull named Snow, the dog refused to leave her kennel. Kiersten, the foster mom, shared in the first part of her June 2 video Snow's reluctance to receive any attention. Snow cowered in the back, avoiding eye contact when Kiersten tried reaching her hand out. Snow's nervousness is understandable, after all, as she was abandoned and tied to a pole in Houston, Texas, Kiersten told Newsweek via TikTok. Kiersten received a call about Snow and went to rescue her. From there, she welcomed her into her home with open arms and patience, as Snow learned to trust again. Snow went from not wanting to leave the safety of her crate to understanding she's capable of being loved. Kiersten said it took about three to four weeks for Snow to finally come out of her kennel. Her new spot: the bed. The second part of the clip shows Snow happily lounging in the foster mom's bed. Her tail kept wagging. She went from being afraid of leaving the kennel to being afraid of leaving the comfort of the bed, a night-and-day transformation. The caption on the video reads: "Round of applause for Snows transformation." Screenshots from a June 2 TikTok video of a rescue pit bull afraid to leave her kennel after being brought to a foster home.

She runs an independent rescue organization, where Snow is available for adoption. "It's so rewarding," she said. "The transformations are my favorite." Viewer Reactions With over 92,500 views as of Friday, TikTok viewers felt relieved to know that this dog is no longer suffering, and that she's relearning what it means to be loved. People flooded the comment section with their praise for saving her. "How can anyone hurt something so beautiful? Thank you for giving her a loving home," wrote one user, while another echoed: "...thank you for giving her the chance to know how she should be treated." A third person commented: "The 1st video is hurtful. She's avoiding eye contact and looks nervous. Thank you so much for showing her what love and caring hands are." Someone else said: "She's like, 'Please don't take me back to that bad, scary place. Sweet girl. Thank you for saving her."

These Latino restaurateurs in unlikely places are nominated for a prestigious culinary prize
Before moving to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, two decades ago, Oscar Ortega had left Mexico City at a young age and spent many years in several European countries, where he studied gastronomy with what he calls incredible teachers. But he never forgot 'where my roots came from, my origins,' he said in an interview with Noticias Telemundo. Cacao originated in Mexico, he explained, which was one of the reasons Ortega decided to dedicate himself to becoming a chocolatier, gelato maker and baker. This year, his Jackson Hole establishment, Atelier Ortega, is one of five finalists for the outstanding bakery prize of the prestigious James Beard Awards, which will be announced June 16 and are considered the Oscars of the culinary world. Ortega, whose desserts have won international competitions and who's been featured on numerous television programs, is one of almost 20 Latinos who are finalists across different categories, recognized for making their mark in the culinary and beverage arenas — including in states with smaller Latino populations. One of them is Wyoming, a state where 10% of the population is Hispanic and that many people might associate more with 'cowboy country' than with chocolate making, Ortega said with a laugh. 'But I said, 'Let's see, let's try,'' and he opened a chocolate and pastry shop in 2004. There were days when he didn't sell anything, he said, but then everything started selling out. To keep honing his skills, he began entering international culinary competitions. Initially, he represented Mexico, his native country, but after winning several times, he was invited to join the official U.S. team with which he has won several prestigious international awards. 'And after I made the desserts for the competitions, I would serve them in my bakery when I got back. And that's how it began to establish itself' to the point of getting James Beard recognition, Ortega said. Like Wyoming, Idaho and Alabama are not states with the largest Latino populations. But in Caldwell, Idaho, people of Hispanic descent make up almost 40% of the population compared to 13% in the rest of the state. In this city, Salvador Alamilla's dishes at his restaurant, Amano, have earned him a nomination for 2025 James Beard best chef: mountain, where he's competing against four other chefs in nearby states. The restaurant's website touts a dedication 'to uplifting the food and beverages of the Mexican diaspora through ancestral cooking methods.' From the beginning, Alamilla said, his restaurant sought to be a place that offered 'the dream of eating like you did at home, with food like your grandpa or mom used to make it.' That's why regardless of whether he wins the James Beard Award or not, he said he's already been rewarded by 'seeing how people react to this food, saying, 'That's how my dad made it,' or 'Wow, it tastes just like my grandma's.'' That's behind one of this season's signature dishes at Amano: seasoned goat meat that's slow-cooked in an underground pit, or birria en hoyo, as it's known in Spanish. He's been making it with input from everyone who works at the restaurant, based on how they remember their own older relatives did it using the ancient technique. Along with his wife, Becca Alamilla — who's also the restaurant's manager — the chef's mother, aunts, brother and cousin also work there. 'It's a family project that has become a community cornerstone here in Caldwell,' Alamilla said. For the family, that includes advocating for community initiatives, such as raising funds so local teachers can purchase more books by diverse authors. 'We can be a place that offers a connection to this beautiful culture that exists here because we're here,' Becca Alamillo said. 'I think it can help carry people back to a place that they had forgotten and then it brings back really special memories.' In Birmingham, Alabama, José Medina Camacho has been nominated for outstanding professional in beverage service as co-owner of the bar Adiõs. Medina Camacho told Noticias Telemundo that, at first, he didn't want to be involved in the food industry because his mother and stepfather worked in kitchens, and he saw how long and tiring their days would be. But once he decided to do it, 'I worked my way up the ladder in every aspect of a restaurant,' he said, 'dishwasher, line cook, busboy, server, and then manager in one place, bartender in another, putting together the wine list in yet another... everything.' During the pandemic, he considered moving to another industry, until his partner in what is now Adiõs suggested opening a bar. He said he was initially afraid to make that step, but then he thought it over. "I saw and went to bars all over the city and said, 'Yeah, something's missing here. Where are my people?'' he said. While people in the area knew about Southern hospitality, 'Mexican hospitality is on another level, and I wanted to show them that," he said. At first, people who came to his stylish bar didn't know what to expect; they asked for 'chips and salsa,' he said, because they didn't necessarily know that Latin American culinary establishments can offer so many other things. 'Now they love music in Spanish, they ask me about epazote (a Central American herb), they want to know all the differences between the types of mezcal or tequila,' Medina Camacho said. In that vein, one of the bar's current favorites is a martini made with aged tequila, pickled watermelon and campari. 'We want to attract the entire Birmingham community, whether Latin or American, and show them our culture ... I'm excited about the future, whatever the outcome is' regarding the nomination, he said. Back in Wyoming, Ortega believes his own career's advancements reflect how 'the influence of Mexican and Latin American cuisine has been incredibly significant' in the American culinary world over the last 10 years. 'And in part, it's because, from New York to San Diego, there's no kitchen without Latinos, whether they're chefs, those working alongside them or those financing them, and regardless of whether they're Michelin-starred restaurants or small establishments,' he said. Ortega would be the first Wyoming chef to win the James Beard Award. But he said that regardless of whether he wins, being considered a finalist is a boost after years of work, tireless hours in the kitchen and coaching a team. 'My priority, regardless of the outcome, remains having the opportunity to grow as a pastry chef, chocolatier and ice cream maker, internationally,' Ortega said. He still has one goal, however: re-creating his favorite dessert, which is a flan (custard) that tastes just like the one his late mother used to make. 'Imagine that: after so many years of working at this, I haven't been able to copy her recipe, which she took with her,' Ortega said with a sigh. 'But you have to keep trying.'

Sofia Coppola's Daughter Romy Mars, 18, Waxes Poetic on the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous in Luxe New Music Video
Romy Mars, the daughter of Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars, released a music video for her song "A-Lister" The music video features her swimming in a pool, getting snapped by paparazzi and possibly even eloping with a famous actor Romy previously went viral when she was 16 for a TikTok video she filmedAs a member of the Coppola family, Romy Mars was born into movie royalty — meaning she knows full well the true meaning of 'A-lister.' Romy, the 18-year-old daughter of Sofia Coppola and her husband, Phoenix rocker Thomas Mars, released a new music video for her single 'A-Lister,' a pop song she co-wrote that features tongue-in-cheek commentary on the surface-level lifestyles of the rich and famous. 'I love this golden sunny West Coast/Sceney plastic world/I miss being a real girl, sure/But I'm not a real girl anymore,' she sings on the song. Romy, who was raised in New York City, also sings about meeting and dating an actor, posting pictures from a private jet and dyeing her hair until she's a 'blonde bore.' 'One day I'll be bored/With everything that I've got/Get out of fancy clothes/Right after they get the shot/Recreate scenes from Titanic on a flying bridge yacht/Just to feel something real,' she sings. In the music video, she shows off life in the lap of luxury, from swimming in a pool, getting snapped by paparazzi, getting styled by a team of three and possibly even eloping with a famous actor. Romy first launched her music career in May 2024 with the release of the singles 'Stuck Up' and 'From a Distance.' 'So proud of Romy's first 2 songs out today!' her Oscar-winning mom wrote on Instagram at the time. Romy — who has a 15-year-old sister, Cosima — previously went viral when she was 16 after she revealed in a TikTok video that she'd been grounded for trying to charter a helicopter from New York to Maryland on her dad's credit card to have dinner with a friend from camp. In the video, the singer also shared that she decided to film the TikTok — which showed her casually making a vodka pasta sauce — because she was "already grounded" and her parents' "biggest rule is I'm not allowed to have any public social media accounts." "Here's why," she explained while holding up a Grammy award with a sarcastic smile. "Because they don't want me to be a nepotism kid, but TikTok is not gonna make me famous, so it doesn't really matter.' In 2024, Romy had a small role in Megalopolis, directed by her grandfather, Francis Ford Coppola. Read the original article on People
