Terrified woman, 69, savaged by 'monstrous' raccoon while letting her spaniels into backyard
A Massachusetts woman was savaged by a large raccoon after letting her dogs into her backyard over the weekend. Katharine VanBuskirk, 69, of Somerville, suffered horrific injuries to her arms, legs and face after the ordeal on Saturday morning. She had just let her two dogs, Blue, a three-year-old black cocker spaniel, and Rubi, a one-year-old Cavalier King Charles spaniel, outside when the animal lunged at her. 'I was almost instantaneously leapt on by a raccoon', she recalled in an interview with the Boston Globe. 'It was a giant ball of viciousness. It bit me and scratched me. It attacked relentlessly, from every angle, it was terrifying', she said. She also described it as 'monstrous' to WCVB. VanBuskirk recently underwent shoulder surgery and had one arm in a sling during the attack. She fought the animal off while screaming: 'Help me!' The feral animal scratched her eyelid and cheek so bad that blood started pouring out of her face. Images of her injuries show VanBuskirk with deep gashes on her left cheek, her arms and legs are also covered in similar marks, with bite marks also visible. She managed to free herself and made her way back indoors where she immediately called 911. VanBuskirk was then taken to Mount Auburn Hospital where she was treated with rabies shots and antibiotics. Both of hers dogs escaped unscathed and she is expected to make a full recovery from the attack. She later discovered from a neighbor that they had seen a raccoon with four cubs in the area. VanBuskirk believes the animal was on her back porch looking for food in her compost bin. She has since moved it on to her street. Despite her ordeal, she told NBC Boston that she remains a nature fan, adding: 'I just want other people to be careful. I'm gonna never blame the raccoon.' The animals are found all over the state of Massachusetts, except for Nantucket, and are typically active at night, dawn and dusk. According to the state wildlife site, they can carry a number of diseases including rabies. Nearly all patients who develop a rabies infection die from the disease, which has a death rate of 99.9 percent. Authorities urge anyone bitten by a raccoon to wash the wound before seeking immediate medical care. To limit the risk of contact, homeowners are told to limit the access of food in or near a property. Cayenne pepper is often used as a repellent due to their sensitive noses and a dislike of strong smells.

Woman Always Wished for Cuddly Dog—Then Got More Than She Bargained For
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 woman who had always dreamed of having a "cuddly" dog finally got her wish. Kris, from California, is the proud owner of pit bull cross Olive, who exceeded Kris's expectations of having an attention-seeking dog, as Olive cannot get close enough to her—even lying on her face as she sleeps. Olive's lapdog nature has now gone viral, after Kris shared a video of the reality of life with her ultra-cuddly dog to her TikTok account, @ on July 14. "You know what's funny? Before I got this dog I always said I wanted a cuddly dog," she tells the camera. She explained her previous dog, a cocker spaniel, enjoyed being around them but "wasn't very cuddly," and when it was time to get a new pet, Kris wanted a dog who "wants to cuddle all day." She pictured it being "just super lovely, and we have these cute little cuddly moments." And it's clear she got her wish, as Kris is filming the video while lying in bed—as her dog lies with her full weight on top of her, and her head resting on Kris's face. "And then I got her," she said, moving the camera to show another angle of just how heavily her dog is lying on top of her. She finished the video by looking directly into the camera—with the part of her face not covered by Olive, that is—and letting the image speak for itself. TikTok users were obsessed, watching the video more than 200,000 times and awarding it 42,000 likes. One commenter joked: "She said 'and now I sleep with my face on your face. Aren't you feeling blessed?'" "Look at you, manifesting," another laughed, as another insisted: "You love it really though, don't you?" Kris isn't alone with her "velcro dog," the term given to pets who want to be stuck to their owners at all times, as one commenter shared: "I wake up in the middle of the night and I have a pitbull on top of my head, snoring." But as another summed up the situation: "You've got a heated, weighted blanket." Kris with her extra-cuddly dog, Olive. Kris with her extra-cuddly dog, Olive.

(Photo by Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP)(Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP) Although David has been busy promoting Superman for the last few weeks, he has mostly avoided talking too much about his personal life. David and Julia crossed paths first when they were teens. Both of them landed in the same Pennsylvania summer theater program. After dating for a few years, the two got married in 2023. The two welcomed a daughter in 2024 and have kept her name private. David also began prep for Superman around the same time his daughter was born. The two of them also share a Cavalier King Charles spaniel named Ira. Julia shared a bunch of pictures on her Instagram from 2022. One of them was a cute picture with David. Take a look: In an interview with People, David said, 'I feel like I've been a dad for a long time, and just waiting for a kid to prove it. My dad was an enthusiastic father and stayed home with my sister for a period when she was very little, and was very good with kids. And so I think I just inherited that. I liked being a camp counselor, and I have terrible jokes that nobody laughs at." As per her IMDB page, Julia has acting, producing and directing credits in projects like Ratched(2020), Back for Good (2017) and Dot (2014). Superman is set for release on July 11.

All About David Corenswet's Wife, Julia Warner
Superman actor David Corenswet plays a man leading an epic double-life. The star has some experience there, because he keeps his off-screen world extremely private. Corenswet is married to his wife, Julia Best Warner, with whom he shares one child. But his Instagram is almost entirely promotion for the upcoming DC flick and he has shared very little info about his family. Here's everything that is known about Warner and her relationship with the superhero. Like Corenswet, Warner is an actor. Per her LinkedIn profile, she studied Fine Arts in Theater Arts Acting at Point Park University in Pittsburgh. According to her IMDb page, she has also tried her hand at producing and directing, and has credits with The Baby Sitters Pub, Ratched, and Pretty Little Things. In 2018, she wrote a tribute to her work at the Pittsburgh Playhouse. She seems to be close to her family, and posted about cutting down the family Christmas tree with other Warners in 2020. And she and Corenswet share a Cavalier King Charles spaniel named Ira: 'He's less of a doggy, more of a toddler,' Corenswet told People, adding that the seven-year-old dog 'has a wonderful mohawk, a natural tuft of hair right between his eyes, which is the reason he's disqualified from being shown [making him] adoptable.' According to an interview with People in June 2025, the pair met as teenagers at a Pennsylvania summer theater program and had a 'slow-burn' romance. They were married in March 2023. In 2022, Warner shared a carousel of pics that included Corenswet. Corenswet and Warner welcomed a daughter in 2024, though they have kept her name private. In his interview with People, Corenswet said, 'I feel like I've been a dad for a long time, and just waiting for a kid to prove it. My dad was an enthusiastic father and stayed home with my sister for a period when she was very little, and was very good with kids. And so I think I just inherited that. I liked being a camp counselor, and I have terrible jokes that nobody laughs at.' The baby arrived in close conjunction with the beginning of his Superman journey, prompting him to add, 'Two big unknown things at the same time. And they were both great things.'
