Hero Dog Helps Owner – An 11-year old dachshund named Missy came to the aide of her collapsed owner when she scampered next door, not leaving until the neighbor followed her home.

8-Year-Old Mini-Monet Wows With Amazing Art – Kieran Williamson’s work is more than worthy of being hung on the refrigerator, it is more likely to be seen at a museum. The youngster, at only 8, impresses onlookers everywhere with her amazing brushstrokes and raw talent. Buyers purchased 33 of her artworks recently, the total cost of which exceeded $250,000.
Lottery Winner Keeps His Day Job – After driving a bus for 17 years, a 46-year-old man plans to keep his route even after winning big bucks in the lotto. The UK man played regular numbers, all of which came up one night, winning him £2.3m (about $3.6m US). The man claimed that he would use the money to take a vacation with his long time partner, buy his mother a new place to live, and a pony for his 14-year old daughter. He plans to remain behind the wheel, despite his winnings, though. ''I don't want to pack my job in. I asked my boss for time off, a month maybe two, but I don't want to cut myself off from my friends and I really enjoy my job," he said.
Healthy Hero Inspires Kids – Rosalie Mangino-Krandall wanted youngsters in her community to have an opportunity to be healthy and active, so she did everything she could to make it happen. Through grants she procured, Mangino-Krandall was able to supply equipment and fun activities to keep neighborhood kids physically active. “It’s easier to keep kids active than I would have imagined,” she said. “You can make anything a game.”
