‘Abandoned' dog walks up to shelter fence — ‘eager to join in.' He needs a home
Now, the South Carolina pup needs a home of his own.
'He's as sweet as they come and full of potential,' the Greenville Humane Society wrote July 2 on Facebook. 'He just needs someone to give him a chance.'
Brick waits for a fresh start after he stumbled upon a shelter training class, called Brickyard Basics. The humane society said the dog had been dumped on its property and was 'alone' and 'confused.'
'Instead of hiding or running, this brave little guy sat at the fence, watching the class with bright eyes and a wagging tail — like he knew he was supposed to be there,' the shelter wrote. 'It felt like he was asking, 'Can I learn too?''
The shelter took in Brick, who is sick with a 'puppy cold.' Now, workers hope the dog will get better and gain trust in a foster home.
'We named him Brick because he showed up during Brickyard Basics, and because he's already laying the foundation for a better life,' the shelter wrote.
As of July 2, the shelter's website said the 1-year-old mixed-breed pup was waiting to go into foster care. He's not yet available for adoption, the humane society wrote in a Facebook comment.
Details about the shelter's adoption process can be found at greenvillehumane.com. The animal organization didn't immediately share additional information with McClatchy News on July 2.

Passerby visits Poland river to see low water level — and finds medieval weapon
After hearing reports of historically low water levels at a river in Poland, a man decided to see for himself. The excursion took an unexpected turn when he noticed something in the water — and found a medieval weapon. Andrzej Korpikiewicz took a scooter to the outskirts of Warsaw to see the Vistula River on the afternoon of July 1, he told McClatchy News on July 4. While walking along the riverbank, he noticed a rusty metal object in the shallow water. At first, Korpikiewicz thought it might be 'a large washed-up hinge,' according to the Polish news outlet TVP World. He pulled it out, started cleaning off the mud and uncovered a cross-like design, Korpikiewicz said. Very quickly, he realized this could be something special. Korpikiewicz took the object home and wrapped it in wet clothes to protect it, he told McClatchy News. The next day, he handed it over to heritage officials. 'We (were) met with great surprise and excitement,' Korpikiewicz told TVP World. The Warsaw Conservator of Monuments identified Korpikiewicz's find as a well-preserved medieval sword, according to a July 2 Facebook post. Photos show the rusty, orange-brown weapon. The blade has a rectangular tip, and the handle ends in a spherical bulb. Officials did not provide measurements of the sword, but a photo from Korpikiewicz of the item next to a measuring stick shows it to be about 32 inches long. The medieval sword was given to a specialty conservation workshop for further preservation and analysis, Science in Poland said in a July 4 news release. Its origin and exact age remains a mystery. 'People spend years looking for this sort of thing, but I came across it completely by accident,' Korpikiewicz told TVP World. In Warsaw, the Vistula River has dropped to record low levels in recent days due to a heatwave and lack of rainfall, Reuters said in a July 4 article. Some meteorologists expect the water level to continue dropping. As of Friday, July 4, the river's water level in Warsaw was 18 cm (about 7 inches), below its previous low record of 20 cm (about 7.9 inches), according to data from the country's Institute of Meteorology and Water Management. Warsaw is the capital city of Poland. Google Translate was used to translate the news release from Science in Poland, Facebook post from the Warsaw Conservator of Monuments and comments from Andrzej Korpikiewicz.

Powerball player just misses $175M jackpot, but still wins big prize in Georgia
A Georgia lottery player was a number shy of the Powerball jackpot but still walked away a big winner. The lucky player won $100,000 after matching four white ball numbers and the Powerball number in the July 2 drawing, narrowly missing the estimated $175 million grand prize, results show. The winning ticket was sold at a Pick N Pay convenience store in Hephzibah, a Georgia Lottery spokesperson told McClatchy News. The player would've won $50,000 but spent an extra dollar on the multiplier option, doubling their prize. Officials didn't say if the ticket has been claimed as of July 3. The Powerball numbers on July 2 were 7-19-21-54-63 and red Powerball 21, according to the lottery game's website. The Power Play option was 2x. There were no $1 million or $2 million winners, and no one hit the jackpot, results show. It's the latest big lottery win for the Peach State, coming nearly a week after two Fantasy 5 players each won a jackpot worth more than $1 million, McClatchy News reported. One ticket was purchased online, and the other was sold at a Raceway Station in Valdosta, lottery officials said. The next Powerball drawing is July 5 with an estimated $190 million jackpot. Hephzibah is about a 20-mile drive southwest from downtown Augusta. What to know about Powerball To score the jackpot in the Powerball, a player must match all five white balls and the red Powerball. The odds of scoring the jackpot prize are 1 in 292,201,338. Tickets can be bought on the day of the drawing, but sales times and price vary by state. Drawings are broadcast Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:59 p.m. ET and can be streamed online. Powerball is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
