SPRINGFIELD, MA. (WSVN) – Whiskey, a dog stolen six years ago, has been reunited with his owners.The reunion unfolded when a Thomas J. O’Connor Animal Control Officer found Whiskey in an abandoned house and decided to scan him for a microchip. The Thomas J. O’Connor Animal Control and Adoption Center in Springfield, Massachusetts emphasized the importance of not assuming ownership of a found dog, highlighting the need to report such discoveries to animal control. “This amazing, happy story reminds us that when you find a dog, it’s not finders-keepers, you must report a found dog to animal control,” the shelter said in a Facebook post. Microchipping pets and ensuring that the information remains current was another crucial message expressed.

If you’re contemplating a trip on your own, you might be in good company. Both men and women are traveling alone more, according to recent travel industry surveys and many resorts within easy driving distance of Denver are creating opportunities for these solo travelers.“We’ve really seen the all-inclusive wilderness properties be a big hit for solo travelers, particularly those that are newer to the outdoors,” said Krista Heinicke, director of public relations at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. “You have the comfort of Broadmoor lodging and its pampering staff, but can step outside of your comfort zone with new activities like horseback riding, fly fishing, hiking, mountain biking, and more with this built-in communal nature to the experience so you can engage with others if you desire — or stay solo with a book on the porch.”The growth in solo travel has been attributed to a post-pandemic desire to get out and see the world without waiting for the perfect mate to hit the road. ...
