Dog missing since Lancaster floods found
After four days on the run, Scooby Doo, owned by Kathryn Horvath and family, was found in a trap set by rescuers.
Scooby was among more than 30 that were removed from FIDO, the Finishing Institute for Dog Owners, on Sunday as floodwaters tore into the building. However, Scooby became spooked by the situation, bit two firefighters, and ran off.

'
Scooby Has Been Found!' FIDO posted to social media. '
We are thrilled to share that Scooby has been found and safe with his family!'
Detailed on social media, the community rallied around Horvath and her family, reporting sightings of Scooby over the four days he was missing.
'He's a scared dog,' she told NBC4 earlier this week. 'He's also a big alarm, even when he is not scared. So, yeah, he took that as opportunity out of fear.'
While details haven't been released on where Scooby was found, photos posted to FIDO's social media show the 35-pound Shar Pei being carried from a wooded area in a metal trap. Other pictures show the happy dog and Horvath reunited, everyone with a big smile on their faces.

'A huge thank you to everyone who reached out, shared posts, and helped search for him,' FIDO posted. 'Your kindness and support made all the difference. Our community truly shines in moments like these!
Welcome home, Scooby!
Shoutout to the Fairfield County Dog Shelter and Dr Libby Kinsel and her team for helping us!'
FIDO suffered severe damage during the flooding this past weekend. Several fundraisers, including a GoFundMe page and a month-long event at a local brewery, are among the ways the community is rallying around the business.

Escaped Colorado bison causes temporary closure of park in Douglas County
A bison escaped from its confinement in Colorado on Monday and authorities closed a park for a short time as a result. It happened in the middle of the day in Douglas County's Daniels Park area. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office sent out a warning after 1:30 p.m. asking people to avoid Daniels Park Road between Castle Pines Parkway and Grigs Road. It said park rangers were heading to the area to handle the situation. A little less than 30 minutes later, the sheriff's office said the bison was herded back into the fenced-in area where it is kept. The website for Denver Parks and Recreation says it maintains "a conservation bison herd" at Daniels Park.

Lori Cannon, Chicago LGBTQ+ activist and advocate for people with HIV/AIDS, dies at 74
Lori Cannon, a renowned Chicago activist and advocate for Chicago's LGBTQ+ community and people living with HIV/AIDS, died this past weekend. The Center on Halsted announced Cannon's death on social media Monday. The Windy City Times reported that Cannon died the evening of Sunday, Aug. 3, at her home. She was 74. A 2004 Chicago Tribune profile said Cannon was born in Chicago's Ravenswood neighborhood and grew up in West Rogers Park. She earned a degree in cinematography filmmaking from Columbia University in New York, the newspaper reported. The Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame noted that Cannon was drawn into Chicago's organized gay and lesbian activist community while working as a show business "Bus Driver to the Stars." In the mid-1980s, Cannon began working as one of the earliest volunteers for Chicago House, the first local agency to provide housing to people with AIDS. "Among other things — like working with the Buddy Program — my job was to plan the weekly 'family meals' that were enjoyed by residents, staff, and volunteers alike," Cannon wrote in a 2016 article for The Advocate magazine. "It was the earliest, darkest days, and we formed a bond of community that would come to define everything going forward." In addition to planning those Thursday night meals, Cannon also helped residents complete routine tasks with which they were struggling — such as personal care, shopping, and laundry, the Hall of Fame noted. She called on friends and business associates to help out, and scheduled hair stylists and planned recreational outings for Chicago House residents, according to the Hall of Fame. In 1987, Cannon traveled to Washington, D.C., for the National March on Washington for Gay and Lesbian Rights. She wrote in The Advocate that she encountered the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt at that event. The quilt, conceived of by San Francisco AIDS and LGBTQ+ rights activist Cleve Jones, covered a space larger than a football field and included 1,920 panels when it was put on display at the march in Washington, according to the National AIDS Memorial. Cannon, who wrote that she was losing many of her closest friends to AIDS at the time, helped create the local chapter of the NAMES Project and brought the quilt to Chicago — at Navy Pier in 1988 and McCormick Place in 1990, according to published reports. Meanwhile, Cannon ramped up her involvement in activism and protests on behalf of those with HIV and AIDS. "As AIDS reached epidemic proportions, where death was our constant companion, our anger at government's and society's indifference needed a place to go," Cannon wrote in The Advocate. "For me it meant becoming a regular fixture in the street activism of ACT UP/Chicago — the AIDS protest group that used guerilla tactics and street 'zaps' to challenge the political indifference of the establishment. Our need for assistance of every kind was met by a deafening silence — so we fought back the only way we know how." Cannon organized the ACT UP-Chicago demonstrations along with her best friend — cartoonist Danny Sotomayor — and fellow activist Paul Adams. Also in 1988, Cannon cofounded Open Hand Chicago, which served as a meals-on-wheels program for people with AIDS. Aided by Cannon's background as a bus driver, Open Hand Chicago laid out driving routes for delivery of meals "cooked in a modest kitchen," Cannon wrote for the Advocate. But soon, with the emergency growing, Cannon wrote that she was "overseeing an army of 400 volunteers who turned out seven days a week to deliver hot ready-to-eat evening dinners and box lunches (for the next day) to over 1,200 people suffering from AIDS. And there was never a waiting list." Cannon and Open Hand Chicago went on to open the GroceryLand food pantry, initially at 3902 N. Sheridan Rd. in Lakeview. In 2011, Open Hand Chicago came under the umbrella of Heartland Alliance — which last year split into four separate entities as a cost-saving measure. This past February, one of those entities, Heartland Alliance Health, announced plans to close its three food pantries — including GroceryLand, now at 5543 N. Broadway in the Edgewater neighborhood — and its two clinics. But the organization went on to reverse that decision. In March, after the announcement that GroceryLand would stay open, Ald. Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth (48th) posed for a photo with Cannon, whom the alderwoman noted had been "feeding people with HIV for 36 years and isn't about to stop now." In a social media post, entertainer Angelique Munro noted that Cannon was also a volunteer with AIDS Legal Counsel of Chicago, STOP AIDS Chicago, Howard Brown Health, and the AIDS care unit at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. Cannon was also a cofounder of the Chicago-based Legacy Project honoring LGBTQ+ history and culture. "Mama Lori was the lifeline for so many of us. Her kitchen was open. Her arms were open. Her heart — endlessly open," Munro wrote. "To Lori—and every volunteer who's ever packed a grocery bag, delivered a meal, or sat bedside with someone in need—thank you. Your love and devotion built this community. Nothing can take that legacy away."

Fire at a Mass. home started inside a snake enclosure in a bedroom
Whitman firefighters knocked down a fire that started inside a snake enclosure at a two-story house Sunday night, the Whitman Fire Department said. At around 10:45 p.m., the town's fire department learned of a house fire at 12 Morgan Road on the second floor, the department said in a statement. The people living in the home evacuated the building before firefighters arrived, and told firefighters that the fire began in the second-floor bedroom, fire officials said. Firefighters lined up at the front door of the second floor and found a small fire inside a pet snake enclosure, the department stated. They knocked out the flames, which had not spread to other rooms in the house. The snake, a python, was not hurt in the fire and was removed from the home by Whitman firefighters, the department said. Firefighters gave the snake to its owners. By 1 a.m., firefighters cleared out. 'We're glad that no one was hurt as a result of this fire, including the pet snake,' Whitman Fire Chief Timothy Clancy said in the statement. 'We were able to quickly put out the flames before they spread elsewhere throughout the house, preventing further damage to the property, which is always good news.' An initial investigation by Whitman fire officials and Massachusetts State Police determined that the people who lived there were home when they smelled smoke and found the fire, the statement read. One person tried to knock out the flames with a fire extinguisher before closing the bedroom door and leaving with the other people, the department stated. No one was hurt during the fire. Inspectors found that the home also had working smoke detectors.
