Hero chihuahua hailed for saving owner's life after a 26-foot tumble into a ravine
Ay-ice Chihuahua! Not all heroes wear capes — this one wore a collar. A pet Chihuahua saved its owner's life after the man fell into a Swiss glacier. A man was rescued from a frozen glacier thanks to his loyal pooch. Air Zermatt An unidentified man was reportedly hiking the Fee Glacier in Switzerland last Friday afternoon when he walked onto a snow bridge — a mass of snow or ice that forms over an opening — and plunged a staggering 26 feet into an icy crevasse, according to CBS News. The prepared hiker used an amateur walkie-talkie he had with him to call for help, the Air Zermatt rescue service reported. A person in the area heard the distress call and alerted the authorities, but couldn't spot the man. Air Zermatt noted that the search was 'difficult' as 'the hole was barely visible.' Fortunately, he wasn't alone — he had his white and brown long-haired Chihuahua accompanying him. And it was the pup that the rescuers spotted on a rock. The loyal pooch was sitting right next to the space where its owner originally fell. Rescuers struggled to find the hole in the glacier where the man had fallen until they spotted his furry friend. Air Zermatt 'Thanks to the dog's behavior, the crew was able to locate the exact site of the accident. The rescuers abseiled down to the casualty and were able to save him,' Air Zermatt said. The rescue team claimed the tiny dog didn't move during the mission and watched every movement. The pair were then flown to a hospital in the nearby town of Visp. 'It is fair to say that his behavior contributed significantly to the successful rescue,' the company said. 'The dog is a four-legged hero who may have saved his master's life.' This isn't the first time a four-legged friend has helped rescue its owner. Earlier this year, a pooch helped alert its sleeping owner to a fire breaking out in Baldwinsville, NY. Angela Murray said her pitbull mix was barking louder than usual, according to 'Then I could faintly hear the alarm going off.' 'I went to the living room where he kept barking and I'm hearing 'pop pop pop' in the ceiling. I'm like, 'Oh no, this is real,'' she told the outlet. Thankfully, Murray and her pup, Rocco, made it out safely.

Ayrshire taxi driver granted licence exception after 'life changing events'
Angela Murray said she had been put in a very difficult position. A taxi driver has been given a licence to allow the use of a non-compliant car in place of a wheelchair accessible one which is far too expensive to repair. And Angela Murray told the North Ayrshire Licensing Committee a series of 'life-changing events' had put her in a very difficult financial position. She asked if she could substitute a non-compliant Skoda Octavia car in place of a Peugeot wheelchair accessible vehicle. The applicant said: 'I currently have a wheelchair access vehicle on a Peugeot Horizon - the vehicle has still got car finance but the engine mounting collapsed and it will be approximately £3,500 to get the car fixed and put it back on the road. 'I currently have seven months of car finance on the vehicle and would be unable to trade it in as it is a non-runner. I would experience difficulty getting car finance. 'I have a Skoda Octavia that meets the criteria for non-wheelchair vehicles. I would like to substitute the wheelchair access vehicle for the non-wheelchair access vehicle. I came to be in this position of being financially constrained due to life-changing events. 'After Covid hit, my husband took a series of fainting effects and was not able to drive the vehicle as it is a hire in case he fainted or passed out and needed six months of no episodes which he did but DVLA backed up with people trying to get licences back. He had to wait six more weeks till DVLA said he was fit to drive then went back to licensing which was another four weeks. 'After he got his licence back in August, my youngest daughter took a rare autoimmune illness, she was four months in hospital and we had to support and look after our grandchildren. I was then off work with stress and anxiety for six months. 'We got back on our feet, got the car back on the road, and in the run up to Christmas we had had to pay the licence fee which was £540 and get the taxi through its test. At that point it needed a completely new exhaust system and tyres. Then in January the engine mount collapsed in the car. 'My husband has had no earnings from that point and this has caused severe financial problems and we are behind on his priority bills. 'We find there is not a great need for wheelchairs as a lot of our customers are older and struggle to get out of the bigger vehicles anyway. 'My husband is fit to drive now. If I scrap the vehicle, I will not get the scrappage value. The finance company say I could hand the car back but that would impact my credit reference." Cllr Ronnie Stalker moved to grant the seconded by cllr Jean McClung and this was agreed by the committee. Chair Eleanor Collier said: 'We understand you have been through a difficult time and we will grant this exception tour policy and a substitution of the licence and hope you can sort out your financial situation and get back on your feet.'

‘The Amazing Race' Season 38: Premiere Date, Cast, Locations and Everything Else We Know
Is everybody ready? The world is waiting … for another season of The Amazing Race! CBS has renewed the long-running reality competition for season 38, and it's been rumored that the upcoming installment will have a Big Brother theme, featuring a slate of contestants from the network's other hit reality show. In Touch breaks down everything to know about The Amazing Race season 38. CBS confirmed at its upfronts in May 2025 that The Amazing Race season 28 would air sometime in the fall of 2025 in its usual time slot of Wednesday nights at 9:30 p.m. ET after Survivor. However, an exact premiere date has not yet been announced. CBS has not officially announced the cast of The Amazing Race season 38. However, reports circulated in February 2025 that former Big Brother houseguests would be participating as racers in the new season. When filming began a few weeks later, the alleged cast list was leaked on social media. There will reportedly be 13 teams of two competing in season 38. According to Instagram account Reality TV_Fan, the reality stars who are rumored to be competing include Big Brother 26 star Angela Murray and her daughter, Lexi Murray; Big Brother 12 and 22 star Vincenzo "Enzo" Palumbo and his brother, Giacomo Palumbo; and Big Brother 23 star Hannah Chaddha and her sister, Simone Chaddha. Additional rumored competitors include Big Brother 25 star Isabel "Izzy" Gleicher and her fiancée, Paige Seber; Big Brother 26 star Chelsie Baham and her dad, Jack Baham; Big Brother 25 star Jagateshwar "Jag" Bains and his brother, Jasmair "Jas" Bains; Big Brother 24 star Joseph Abdin and his brother, Adam Abdin; Big Brother 21 star Kathryn "Kat" Dunn and boyfriend Alex Romo; Big Brother 23 and 24 alums Kyland Young and Taylor Hale; Big Brother 24 star Matt Turner and wife Megan Belmonte; Big Brother 18 star Stephanie Negrotti and sister Natalie Negrotti; Big Brother 26 star Rubina Bernabe and sister Kristine Bernabe and Big Brother 26 star Tucker Des Lauriers and brother Eric Des Lauriers. Of course, fans can also expect Phil Keoghan to return as host. Janelle Pierzina, who appeared on Big Brother season 22, revealed on X in February 2025 that she was asked to join the cast but turned down the offer for financial reasons. 'I had to say no due to money. Reality TV is an expensive hobby at this point if the show doesn't pay. Good luck to the teams participating. I will be rooting for all of you!!!' she wrote. Xavier Prather, who competed on Big Brother season 23, responded that he and Big Brother 3's Danielle Reyes turned down offers for the same reason. '@DaniHenReyes and I were in the mix as well, but chose not to for this exact reason. Can't wait to see BB alums back on our screens and crossing over into another CBS show!' he wrote. The Amazing Race season 38 filming began on March 17, 2025, and ended on April 9, 2025, according to multiple reports. While the complete race lineup has yet to be revealed, the starting line for The Amazing Race season 38 will reportedly be in Hoorn, Netherlands, as the teams were spotted filming in the country in March 2025. They also reportedly traveled to the Czech Republic, Romania, Croatia and Italy.
