Suffering dog was ‘dragged through a store' unresponsive. He needs a new home
A dog in Nevada is on the mend and learning to be more trusting after being in critical condition due to supposed heat stroke. According to The Animal Foundation in Las Vegas, Animal Protection Services was called to a scene at a grocery store where a 5-year-old dog named Baby Gage was found unresponsive, where witnesses 'saw him dragged through a store' and 'left in critical condition,' the shelter said in a July 22 Facebook post. Allison Ford, an employee for The Animal Foundation told McClatchy News, that Gage was left in the store during a smothering heat wave. 'A customer reported seeing him being dragged by his previous owner, though surveillance footage did not capture this directly, and the reporting party left before officers arrived,' the APS stated in its report, Ford said. 'What we can confirm is that when officers made contact, Baby Gage was lying on his side, not moving, and warm to the touch. His paw pads were raw and bleeding despite wearing booties, and he was showing signs consistent with heat stroke.' Ford said the pup's owner was unhoused and couldn't afford the care needed to help Gage, so he made the decision to surrender his dog in order to get help. 'Today, Baby Gage is doing so much better — he's made incredible progress and is slowly learning to trust again,' Ford said. 'He still shows signs of timidity, but once he warms up, he's affectionate, goofy, and truly a staff favorite.' Gage is a lovable pup who enjoys toys and bully rubs, his pet profile says. 'He walks beautifully on leash and lights up with every bit of praise—tell him he's a good boy, and you'll make his whole day!' his profile describes. 'Baby Gage thrives on encouragement, affection, and playtime, and he's eager to find someone who'll cheer him on as much as he'll cheer up your life.' Heatstroke signs in pets Pets should not be outside during the summer for even a short amount of time or their body temperature may rise to 106 degrees and could go into multiple organ failure if it rises higher. Signs of heatstroke in pets, per VCA Animal Hospitals, include: Elevated breathingAbnormal gum colorSleepinessDisorientationSeizures For more information on adoptable pets, visit the shelter's website.

Goldberg Stopped His Son From Signing With WWE
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. Just days after his retirement match, WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg has revealed that he recently put a stop to his son, Gage, signing a deal with WWE. In a new interview, Goldberg stated that the financial offer made to his son was not acceptable, adding another layer of intrigue to his recent, complicated exit from the company. The WWE legend competed in what was billed as his final match this past Saturday at the Saturday Night's Main Event premium live event. He unsuccessfully challenged GUNTHER for the World Heavyweight Championship. G oldberg Puts The Brakes On WWE NIL Deal Speaking with Ariel Helwani, Goldberg disclosed that WWE had approached his son, Gage Goldberg, with an offer to join their "Next In Line" (NIL) program. However, Goldberg was not impressed with the terms of the deal. "They tried to give him an NIL (deal) but when I found out how much they were going to give him, I put the brakes on that one," Goldberg stated. He added, "But they would be ignorant if they didn't have an idea that it could be in his future." This revelation comes just days after Goldberg expressed his own disappointment with how WWE handled his retirement match. It also follows comments from Triple H at the post-Evolution press conference, where he publicly stated that the door was open for Gage to join WWE if his football career didn't work out. LAS VEGAS, NV - JULY 08: Bill Goldberg speaks at the roundtable panel during HISTORY's Live Event 'Evel Live' at Omnia Nightclub at Caesars Palace on July 8, 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada. LAS VEGAS, NV - JULY 08: Bill Goldberg speaks at the roundtable panel during HISTORY's Live Event 'Evel Live' at Omnia Nightclub at Caesars Palace on July 8, 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation WWE's "Next In Line" program was launched in 2021 to recruit and develop future superstars by creating a pathway from collegiate athletics to WWE. The NIL deals allow WWE to sign promising young athletes, providing them with access to the WWE Performance Center and company resources while they are still in college. It has become a major pipeline for the company to scout and develop talent. Gage Goldberg, a standout football player for the University of Colorado, fits the exact profile of the elite college athletes WWE targets for this program. A deal would allow him to begin his journey in the wrestling business while still pursuing his football career. Goldberg Protecting His Son Goldberg's rejection of the deal appears to be rooted in his long history as a top-tier attraction and a savvy businessman. Throughout his career in both WCW and WWE, Goldberg was always one of the highest-paid stars. Goldberg's actions can be seen as a father looking out for his son's best interests and ensuring that his value, which is enhanced by the legendary Goldberg name, is properly recognized by the company. While the Goldberg legacy in a WWE ring may continue one day through his son, it seems it will only happen if the price is right. The ball is now back in WWE's court.

'I put the brakes on that one' - how Goldberg blocked WWE's NIL deal for his son
Bill Goldberg and Gage Goldberg (Image via X) Goldberg's legendary wrestling career may have ended at Saturday Night's Main Event, but he is still calling the shots, especially when it comes to his son's future . The Hall of Famer faced Gunther in what was billed as his retirement match, receiving a hero's send-off with nods to his WCW legacy and emotional tributes. But behind the curtain, there was more than just nostalgia. WWE tried to start a new Goldberg chapter with Gage Goldberg, Bill's son, by offering him an NIL deal. However, Goldberg revealed he turned it down after seeing the numbers. While Gage's potential in wrestling is obvious, his dad believes the time needs to be right before stepping into WWE. Goldberg says no to WWE's NIL deal for Gage Despite WWE's eagerness to bring Gage Goldberg into the fold, the wrestling legend isn't quite ready to hand his son over to the squared circle. In a recent interview with The Ariel Helwani Show, Goldberg explained that WWE offered Gage an NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deal, a program created to sign college athletes to developmental contracts before they even train at the Performance Center. But Goldberg had concerns, especially when he saw how little money was involved. 'They tried to give him an NIL (deal), but when I found out how much they were going to give him, I put the brakes on that one.' Goldberg, Stephen Thompson, Chris Curtis, Patricio Pitbull, Steve Garcia, Mario Barrios, | 7/15/25 He did not rule out a future in wrestling for his son, though, adding that WWE would be 'ignorant' not to see Gage's potential. For now, the younger Goldberg has his focus elsewhere, and that is perfectly fine with dad. Gage Goldberg's dream lies on the football field While wrestling is in Gage's blood, it is not his first love. The University of Colorado athlete is currently playing college football under the legendary Deion Sanders. In fact, Gage has been vocal about wanting to make it big in football, calling WWE a 'backup plan.' His father confirmed that mindset, saying 'The kid is like me. He wants to be a football player. That's a dream of his… He's got it in his blood. But it's not his priority right now.' The Goldberg Family (Image via Instagram) Goldberg made it clear that Gage still has time, and there's no rush to jump into the WWE spotlight. The NIL deal may be off the table for now, but the door is not completely shut, especially if the price (and timing) is right. While WWE may have closed the chapter on Bill Goldberg 's in-ring career, the next generation is not far behind. Gage Goldberg's future in pro wrestling remains a possibility, but for now, his focus is firmly on the gridiron. If and when he does step into a WWE ring, it'll be on his terms, and likely with a much better deal.

Hori Gage's partner describes moment he was gunned down outside his home in Palmerston North
It's the Crown's case that Gage was killed in retaliation for a violent gang brawl that happened two days earlier, when a local Black Power president was stabbed and had his patch taken off him by members of the Mongrel Mob. Gage, a Mongrel Mob member from a different chapter, hadn't been at that brawl and was gunned down while he sat in his car outside his home with his family. Hori Gage, 27, was fatally shot in front of his family in Palmerston North on August 6. Photo / NZ Police The Crown says it was Robert Richards and Royden Haenga who had gone out looking for rival gang members to kill in retribution for the attack on the local Black Power president. Haenga admits to being at the scene but says he didn't intend to kill Gage, while Roberts denies being there at all. 'Honestly mate, I wasn't there' In the police interview, the key Crown witness, who was known to Haenga, initially denied any involvement with the homicide or being at a Black Power address known as 'The Farm' where members of the gang had been congregating before Gage was killed. The man was then shown cellphone polling data that placed his and Haenga's phone at The Farm at the same time, despite him claiming he was somewhere else and had spent the day with family. He was also shown text messages from his partner to another person one minute before Gage was killed, saying that he wasn't with her and that he was with Haenga. However, in the interview the man claims he wasn't at The Farm and hadn't been at the Black Power meeting. Robert Richards and Royden Haenga appeared at the High Court in Palmerston North for the start of a four-week trial. Photo / Jeremy Wilkinson He was then played audio from CCTV on Croyden Ave in Palmerston North where the shooting took place. The CCTV did not show the shooting but recorded the gunshots and the aftermath. Gage's partner and children can be heard screaming before a white Nissan passes in front of the camera. It's part of the Crown's case that this car belongs to Haenga. After this, the man changed his story and admitted to being at The Farm. 'Honestly mate, I wasn't there [at the scene of the crime],' the man said. 'I wasn't there, I stayed at The Farm.' He was shown photos of gang members police believed were at The Farm on August 6, but said he was not a Black Power associate and did not know many of the people there, especially because they were wearing balaclavas. The man, who is not a current gang member, said the people at the address were told to take their patches off before leaving. The rest of his evidential interview will be played to the jury tomorrow. 'My partner just got shot' Earlier today, an interview with Gage's partner, Amethyst Tukaki, was played to the court. It was filmed just hours after Gage had been killed. Tukaki told police their car battery had gone flat and they were waiting for a jump start from her mother at their home on Croyden Ave, with three of their children in the back seat. As she and Gage climbed back into the car she told police she heard a 'tick, tick, tick' sound. Hori Gage was killed in a shooting on August 6, 2023, in Palmerston North. Photo / Facebook 'I thought someone was throwing stones, then I seen someone by my partner, by the door,' she said. Tukaki told police that she got out of the car and saw a man holding a gun. She later described him as wearing a balaclava and being tall and skinny. The man then got back into a waiting car, which drove off, she said. 'The street was so quiet,' Tukaki said, before approaching a neighbour, telling him 'my partner just got shot', while also on the phone to police. Operation London It would be six months before police arrested anyone in relation to Gage's murder and the officer who was second in charge of what was labelled Operation London, Detective Sergeant Dave Wilson, told the court police were concerned about escalating gang tensions after the assault of a local Black Power president at a bar on Castle St on August 4. That president suffered serious injuries, including a partially severed finger, multiple cuts to his scalp and two collapsed lungs. The court was shown CCTV footage of him arriving at Palmerston North Hospital after the incident, where he can be seen hunched over with his hands on his knees before falling on all fours in the hospital entryway. The senior Black Power member was assaulted by two Mongrel Mob associates, who also took his gang patch off him in what's known as a 'depatching'. After this, Wilson said multiple Black Power gang members travelled from Hawke's Bay to Palmerston North and were observed congregating at several addresses in the city. A white Nissan allegedly belonging to Haenga was seen on CCTV around the city, including turning up at a motel where members of the Mongrel Mob were staying. The same car was also photographed at The Farm and in a harrowing video played to the court, it can be seen leaving the scene where Gage was shot. The same car then turns back up at The Farm. Wilson told the court the same car was set on fire and dumped near The Farm and three Black Power members were charged and pleaded guilty to arson. The jury was shown images of the scene where Gage died, and Wilson described how bullet casings were found on the street and bullet fragments inside Gage's car.

The wrestler turned WWE executive addressed the potential of Colorado linebacker Gage Goldberg being on a future roster for the organization during WWE Saturday Night's Main Event. Advertisement 'He probably won't be the last Goldberg in the business," Levesque said. "I can see this sparkle in Gage's eyes, and he's been very clear about it – if the NFL doesn't work out, here he comes. So we'll see.'
