Ben Askren released from hospital after grueling double-lung transplant recovery
Former UFC fighter Ben Askren announced he was released from a hospital Tuesday after a battle with severe pneumonia led to a double-lung transplant. The 40-year-old Askren posted a video update from his vehicle, which his wife Amy was driving after he was released from the hospital. On "day 59," Askren explained how he lost 50 pounds while being hospitalized. Even worse, he described coming close to dying. "I'm out, with my beautiful wife. Supportive. Man, that was a long journey, and it's not over because I still can't really walk," Askren said in the video. "I [have to] keep reteaching myself to do that, among many other things. I guess I can make light of it because it was me, and I don't really remember it. But Amy, how close was I to dying?" After a pause, Askren's wife responded, "Too close. A few times." "Ah, man," Askren continued. "I don't remember 35 days of this journey, but I think surgery was 24-25 days ago. It was hard, it was hard. And I said this already in one of my videos, but the support you guys gave me, whether it was sending a GoFundMe, whether it was helping my kids and wife get through it – I had friends from all over the country come to visit and hang out for a couple of days – it meant so much. It was so great to just have all this support and all the love, and hopefully I'm not in this situation again for a really, really, really long time. I plan on living a while. "So, thank you guys, again. All the positive support. All the comments online. Everything. It means so much. Love you guys." In a previous video, Askren said it was "like a movie" that he didn't remember anything from May 28 to July 2. I only died four times, where the ticker stopped for about 20 seconds," he said. "But I got the double lung transplant. I made it out to the other side of it. Gaining quite a bit of strength. Learning to use everything again. I was on the scale yesterday, 147 pounds. I haven't been 147 pounds since 15 years old. … So, that was a battle. I don't remember most of it." Amy Askren said in early July her husband received a donor for the double lung transplant and was asking for prayers. Askren recently signed with Real American Freestyle, the Hulk Hogan venture hoping to popularize professional freestyle wrestling. The 40-year-old was an NCAA champion in the 170-pound division in 2006 and 2007 and competed for Team USA in the 2008 Olympics. He won gold medals at the 2005 Pan American Championships and the 2009 World Championships. Askren fully transitioned to MMA fighting when he debuted in Bellator in 2010. He competed in ONE Championship before moving to the UFC. Askren fought Robbie Lawler and won by submission at UFC 235 before falling to Jorge Masvidal. Then, in 2021, Askren fought Jake Paul in a boxing match, and he was knocked out in the first round.

Beloved Dachshund Saved From Coyote Attack All Thanks to Drone
Beloved Dachshund Saved From Coyote Attack All Thanks to Drone originally appeared on Parade Pets. When a lost dog is reunited with their parents, a collective sigh is heard around the world. Whiskey the Dachshund's disappearance story is a bit unique and comes with a very happy ending. When Jordan and Brooke Allen realized Whiskey escaped from their home's backyard through a loose fence board, they had to get creative on search and rescue options. According to the Arkansas couple from Morrilton assumed that their Doxie wandered into a nearby wooded area, making it a challenge to find their precious pooch. They searched for several days and posted of Whiskey's absence on social media, when someone suggested using a drone for a more thorough look. The Allens were able to contact drone pilot Chris Laughlin, owner of Russelville-based Natural State Drone Solutions. 'They called me up and they sound pretty desperate,' Laughlin said. Laughlin used his drone to get a broad view of the woods and scrutinized the area for Whiskey. After four hours of searching, he found the Dachshund in a dangerous situation. A coyote had grabbed hold of the dog's neck. "My instinct was to get right down there on the coyote," the drone pilot remarked. Laughlin used the drone to chase the coyote away, with Whiskey safe and sound. The rescued pup was later taken to the vet for a precautionary exam. The Allens welcomed their fur baby back with open arms and shared their gratitude of Laughlin's hard work and quick thinking. 'There was no way that we would've found him without that drone. He saved our family, he's a part of the family,' the couple recent years, coyotes started venturing closer to the suburbs due to a shrinking food supply. This poses a serious threat to our dogs, as well as those who have livestock on their property. Coyotes are well-known predators and they see our animals as prey. If you live in a wooded area and know of coyotes spotted nearby, there are safety precautions to take for your pup. Always walk them on a leash, and never let them outside unsupervised. There are now vests for dogs specifically made to protect them from coyotes. This would be a good investment if coyotes have become a problem in your area. Thankfully, Whiskey is home with his loving parents where he belongs. 🐶🐾🐾 Beloved Dachshund Saved From Coyote Attack All Thanks to Drone first appeared on Parade Pets on Jul 22, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jul 22, 2025, where it first appeared.

See it: Charred remains of historic Grand Canyon Lodge after wildfire rips through North Rim
GRAND CANYON, Ariz. – Officials recently shared photos showing the destruction caused by a wildfire burning through the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. The Dragon Bravo Fire began on July 4 when a lightning strike ignited flames within the Arizona park. As of Tuesday afternoon, the fire had burned over 13,600 acres and is 18% contained. Photos reveal the extent of the damage caused by the Dragon Bravo Fire, particularly around the historic Grand Canyon Lodge and nearby cabins on Bright Angel Point. In one photo, charred stairs that once brought guests to the entrance of the North Rim Visitor Center now lead to an empty shell surrounded by stone columns of what used to hold up the structure. Another shows an American flag now draped over the burned remnants of the Grand Canyon Lodge. Somehow, two large rocking chairs out in front of the Grand Canyon Lodge survived, along with two of the deluxe cabins that flanked the main lodge. Originally built in 1928 and then again in 1937 after a fire, the lodge was destroyed after the Dragon Bravo Fire exhibited extreme and volatile fire behavior, according to the National Park Service. This led to the fire exploding in size on July 12, burning down many article source: See it: Charred remains of historic Grand Canyon Lodge after wildfire rips through North Rim
