Good News: Highway Babies, Pet Roosters, and Firefighter Rescues

Here are a few more Good News stories making the rounds . . .

1.  A guy in Massachusetts delivered his wife’s baby on the side of the highway this month after they couldn’t quite make it to the hospital.  He called her “an absolutely legend,” and their new daughter Summer is doing great.

And bonus:  He DIDN’T lose his wedding ring.  (???)  It came off during the delivery.  He was pretty sure it was somewhere in the grass.  So he went back to the side of the highway and found it with a metal detector.

2.  Two firefighter rescue stories are in the news:  Firefighters in California saved a dog that got stuck on a roof.  And firefighters in Indiana saved a horse that got stuck straddling a fence.

3.  A young girl in Pennsylvania just took on the establishment and won.  The small town of Curwensville is near Punxsutawney, about 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.  And they said they might ban roosters, because they’re too loud.

Nine-year-old Lilly Mione has a pet rooster she loves named Mr. Mohawk.  So she delivered an impassioned speech at their last town council meeting.  Her main argument was people let their dogs stay outside and bark all day.  And they’re just as loud, so what gives?  (Here’s a photo from the meeting.)

They haven’t made a final decision yet.  But they were very impressed with Lilly’s speech, and announced Mr. Mohawk is in the clear.  No matter what they do, he’ll be grandfathered in.  (Here’s a photo of Lilly and Mr. Mohawk.)
