Overlooked senior dog in Texas shelter is ‘panicking' over a secret. Meet Gordon
Meet Gordon, a beautiful senior German shepherd with a little secret that he needs to get off his chest, according to the Humane Society of El Paso.
'HSEP's 32nd annual Telethon is coming up fast, and Gordon has something to admit…' the shelter said in a July 28 Facebook post.
'Yes, he may be the most handsome guy in the shelter, but after all this time, he just has to come out and say it... Gordon has stage fright. This big, brave six-year-old German shepherd Dog is ready to confess that he does have one fear, and it's the camera. He's trying his best to get adopted before August 2 so he can avoid going on TV, because he's panicking just thinking about it.'
Sure, even a lot of humans suffer from the dreaded stage fright or have a fear of public speaking — but luckily for Gordon, speaking has nothing to do with it. Unless, of course, he has that trick up his fur.
'As an older, vision-impaired pup, Gordon is someone often overlooked at the shelter. After 141 days in the shelter, Gordon's one of HSEP's longest residents, and everyone has been stuck wondering how,' the shelter said. 'While he's always been sweet as can be in the shelter, this smart guy also does great in the home, according to his previous foster.'
Gordon is housebroken, a kid sort of dog, and so much more. But most of all — he loves with his whole heart.

Ex-Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson goes viral after claiming he's 'jobless'
Cordarrelle Patterson's Steelers tenure didn't end the way he had hoped — but that hasn't stopped the All-Pro kick returner from creating comedy out of the situation. After hilariously revealing on social media that he had been released on his day off, Patterson took to Instagram with an even funnier take — claiming he was "jobless" with a photo of him mopping floors. Despite an uneventful, injury-riddled 2024 season with Pittsburgh, Patterson's legacy as one of the greatest kick returners of all time is unmatched. Steelers fans will best remember Patterson for entertaining attempts to recruit big-name wide receivers to Pittsburgh — such as Davante Adams, DK Metcalf, and Mike Williams, the latter of whom actually wound up in the Steel City this season. One has to wonder how much Patterson has left in the tank at 34 years old, but considering his four First-Team All-Pro selections, three Second-Team All-Pro selections, four Pro Bowl nominations, and being named to the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team, it's safe to say he's deserving of First-Ballot Hall of Fame consideration.
