Authored by bbc.com

Dog found using owner's t-shirt after 529 days in Australian wilderness.

Valerie's 529 days in the wilderness - surviving intense heat and avoiding venomous snakes - was brought to an end in part through using Ms Gardner's t-shirt to create a "scent trail" to a trap.

Georgia Gardner and her boyfriend, Joshua Fishlock, had momentarily left Valerie in a playpen at their campsite while the couple went fishing.

Kangala Wildlife Rescue said it had been working "around the clock" to find the dog, Valerie, on Kangaroo Island, off the coast of Australia.

A miniature dachshund has been found alive and well after spending more than 500 days in the Australian wilderness.

"After weeks of tireless efforts [...] Valerie has been safely rescued and is fit and well," Kangala said in a social media post.

In a 15-minute video on social media, Mr and Ms Karran explained how the "rollercoaster" rescue had transpired. »

Authored by thedailybeast.com

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard defended the Trump administration’s use of Signal while also taking aim at Biden-era officials for doing exactly the same in an interview Friday.

“Limited use of end-to-end encrypted apps like Signal is not only authorized under this administration, it was used prolifically under the Biden administration as well,” Gabbard said on Fox & Friends.

“It’s just practical,” Gabbard said of the White House’s continued use of the app. »
