Dog's Heartbreaking Look After Family Surrenders Her at 14 Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A terrified dog reentered the shelter at 14 years old after a year of being neglected, but a new family took a chance on the senior canine. Abby, a 14-year-old Chihuahua, was adopted in April 2024 with the thought she would be in her forever home. But fast forward to June, and the owners returned her to the Animal Foundation in Las Vegas. Abby arrived there "terribly underweight," a June 29 Reddit post to the subreddit channel r/Chihuahua read. Her bones protruded; you could see the outline of her spine, ribs and hips. Abby's eyes showed nothing but horror and confusion; she no longer had the Chihuahua spunk. It was as if she had accepted that her final days would be at the animal shelter. But, after a week, a new family stepped up to give this senior dog a fighting chance. User u/Dangerous_Basil5899 shared the exciting news of Abby's adoption on Reddit, accompanied by photos of her finally eating and sleeping. Part of the post read: "Hoping she can live her best years here in our home being spoiled." Newsweek reached out to u/Dangerous_Basil5899 via Reddit for additional information.

Dangerous_Basil5899/Reddit The small dog's forever family said she was probably starved by the previous owners, given the fact that she weighed almost as much as she did a year ago. The owner wrote in the comment section: "She's skeletal and was in rough shape." In just 24 hours after being adopted, Abby already looked stronger, the owner added. They had been giving her goat's milk—an easy-to-digest source of high protein, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and vitamin A—as well as bone broth. However, the family's hopes to have her for years came to a quicker end than expected. The owner shared in a Reddit post earlier this week that Abby had died. The post reads: "I am sad, but more angry. Angry her owners, who adopted her last year, dumped her at the shelter in this frail condition 1.5 years later, angry at those who I consulted and kept saying this was 'all normal.' It wasn't and we knew it wasn't." However, the family is finding comfort in the fact that Abby did not cross the rainbow bridge in a shelter. She received home-cooked meals and a bed, and the little dog was surrounded by endless love in her final days. Reddit Users React As of Thursday, the initial Reddit post had amassed over 8,500 upvotes and more than 425 comments. Heartbroken to hear about Abby's past, people breathed a sigh of relief knowing she was in good hands at the end. One Reddit user said: "Thank you for giving her a second lease in life, we need more people like you!"

The Longer Table rises to battle food insecurity in Arnprior
In the spacious but un-air-conditioned kitchen at the Christian Education Centre in Arnprior, Ont., no fewer than four soup pots were simmering on Sunday. There was minestrone, potato and leek, coconut curry and a broth that would eventually become a "stone soup." That's an old tradition where the soup is concocted by friends and neighbours who contribute whatever ingredients they can spare to the broth. Sunday's stone soup served as the launch for a newly registered non-profit called The Longer Table. Chef and board member Paul Helm said the history of the dish captures what the group is trying to achieve. "Canadians have generations of helping each other get through the rough times, and that's where these stone soups come from," he said. The Longer Table brings together chefs and volunteers with the shared goal of reducing food insecurity in Arnprior, a problem which locals tell CBC has become worse in the years since the COVID-19 pandemic began. 'Getting a lot worse' The Longer Table started back in 2023, when Helm and other chefs made around 400 meals for the local food bank. But they couldn't secure a dedicated kitchen space. Jennifer McGuire, who said she was motivated by worsening food insecurity, spent a year-and-a-half hunting for a new kitchen space, building the board and registering the group as a non-profit. "I've calculated ... if our organization could produce 6,000 meals a day, we would start scratching the surface of what's needed in this area," said McGuire, who is now the board chair. At the Arnprior & District Food Bank, manager Pat Tait says demand has more than doubled in the last five years. In 2020, the food bank served 1,022 families, or about 2,800 people. In 2024, it served 2,261 families, or nearly 5,900 people. She noted those numbers don't include other local initiatives that feed the community, including one that delivers meals to seniors in their homes. "Five years ago, of course, we were going into this horrible time when everybody had to stay home or wear a mask," Tait said. "And now we're free of all of that, but things aren't getting any better. They're getting a lot worse." On Monday, the food bank received the leftovers from The Longer Table's launch dinner: specifically, 117 litres of soup. It will all be gone by the end of the day, Tait said, noting the food bank had already seen 55 families before noon on Monday. "The Longer Table is going to just grow," she said. "There will be a need everywhere, not just the food bank. We will be crying for their help, I'm sure, as soon as other people know that The Longer Table is making food." Cooking and teaching The Longer Table will continue to cook meals for the food bank using community donations and leftover produce from farmers' markets. In April, the non-profit donated around 200 meals. But The Longer Table would also like to teach people the skills they need to feed themselves, like growing vegetables and cooking. "The less people cook themselves, the more expensive it is to go out and buy pre-made products ... and if you go to fast food, which unfortunately a lot of people do, then it's really expensive," Helm said. "Eventually, we would love to have a kitchen enterprise where we could provide food full-time for all sorts of needy people." On their way toward that dream, Helm and McGuire hope to work with Arnprior's town council and other local charities. McGuire believes the council should declare a state of emergency due to food insecurity, as Brockville and Smiths Falls have done. "The more municipalities do, the more pressure that puts on the provincial and federal governments to help us all with the problem," she said.
