Ame thought Lucy might be hiding upstairs. The family's kitten had missed dinner, which felt odd. Still, cats hide. They nap in strange places. Sometimes, they ignore everyone. But when breakfast came the next morning, Lucy still did not show up. "When we fed dinner one night, and she didn't come running, I thought maybe she was upstairs in the kids' bedroom, but when we fed breakfast the next morning, she didn't come running again, so then I knew for sure she wasn't in the house," Ame said. That is when a normal morning in Dayton, Ohio, turned into a frantic search. Lucy was less than a year old. Ame's two young children were devastated. And wherever Lucy had gone, her family knew she had already spent the night away from home. "If she had been out all night, we were really worried," Ame said. Ame's daughter, Evi, felt that fear immediately. "I was really sad and cried a lot. It was really heartbreaking," Evi said. Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy Report PRO WRESTLING STAR KILLER KROSS SHARES SWEET, LIFE-ALTERING MOMENT WHEN A CAT CAME INTO HIS LIFE After the first wave of searching, Ame turned to Petco Love Lost. "I found out about Petco Love Lost through a friend of mine who also had a cat go missing. She said Petco Love Lost is a website where you can match from finders who have uploaded pictures of pets that they've found," Ame said. Ame created a lost pet profile and uploaded Lucy's picture. The free nationwide database uses AI photo-matching technology to compare lost pet photos with found pet reports. Petco Love says the system looks at more than 500 visual markers to identify pets by features that stay with them wherever they go. Then came the lead Ame needed. "It was actually very easy and quick. It was only about 10 or 12 hours before I got a lead on where Lucy might be," Ame said. A finder had listed a cat who looked like Lucy as found. Soon after, Ame received a photo match alert. The price surprised her, too. "I was really surprised that Petco Love Lost is not subscription-based like most things are. It's completely free, so it's accessible to everyone," she said. For a family already scared and stressed, that free access made a big difference. Then Ame learned where Lucy had gone. "She was stuck under the hood of somebody's car. This person had driven to a shopping center across the highway, got out of their car and heard meowing and realized that the meowing was coming from under the hood of their car," Ame said. The driver got Lucy out safely. Thankfully, the kitten had not been hurt. The finder kept Lucy safe and uploaded her photo to Petco Love Lost as a found pet. That report connected with Ame's lost pet profile. From there, Ame could finally arrange the reunion her family had been hoping for. "I connected with the finder on Petco Love Lost and was able to message back and forth. We organized a time to meet up and we were just ecstatic, and overjoyed, and in shock that we actually found her and also that we found her so quickly and in such a short space of time. Having Lucy home is a relief," Ame said. Ame's family brought Lucy home a little more than 24 hours after she disappeared. For Ame's children, Lucy's return changed the whole mood in the house. Ame's daughter, Evi, went from heartbreak to happy tears. "When she was found, my mom put her on my lap. I was having a little bit of some happy tears," Evi said. Then came the sentence every pet parent wants to hear after a scare like this. "When Lucy was found, I was so happy to have her back," Evi said. That is the kind of reunion that sticks with you. A tiny kitten vanished, rode under a car hood, crossed a highway and still made it home because a finder uploaded one photo. WOMAN’S CANCER BATTLE TAKES UNBELIEVABLE TURN WHEN HER DOG GETS SAME DIAGNOSIS Lucy's story also shows why lost pet searches need more than one safety step. The finder tried to get Lucy scanned for a microchip. But that did not solve the problem. "The finder took her to scan the microchip, they couldn't even find it, they couldn't locate it. Petco Love Lost was literally the only link between us and Lucy to get her back," Ame said. That is important because many pet parents assume a microchip will always lead straight home. A microchip can help, but someone still needs access to a scanner. The chip also has to be found and connected to current contact details. Petco Love Lost adds another option. Instead of relying only on tags or a scan, it uses a pet's photo and physical features. Chelsea Staley, president of Petco Love, explains it this way: "Collars break, tags can fall off, and microchip scanners aren't always immediately accessible. Petco Love Lost offers an additional layer of protection by using AI to recognize distinctive physical features that stay with pets wherever they go. You know your pet is one of a kind, and so does Petco Love Lost." In Lucy's case, that extra layer helped bring her back. Lucy's story hits at a time when many pet parents need the reminder. July is National Lost Pet Prevention Month. The month also brings holiday fireworks, which can scare pets and send them running. Petco Love says more pets go missing during the summer than during any other time of year, and fireworks help drive that spike. That makes Lucy's story a good reminder to prepare before your pet bolts. Petco Love encourages pet parents to register their pets on Petco Love Lost at petcolove.org/lost/register-pet/ while they are safe at home. Then, if something goes wrong, they can activate a search with a single click. Set it up before the fireworks start. Check it before guests come over. Take care of it before someone says, "I thought the cat was upstairs." A lost pet search can turn emotional really fast. You may be scared, tired and unsure where to start. Lucy's story shows why preparation can help. Ame already had a clear photo of Lucy. She created a lost pet profile. Then a finder uploaded a found pet report, and the system connected them. That does not mean you should skip collars, ID tags or microchips. Keep those in place. However, Petco Love Lost can give you another way to search when those tools do not work fast enough. The biggest lesson is timing. Registering your pet while everything is calm can save precious time later. Your phone holds your email, passwords, photos, banking apps and personal data.

She slipped out, hid under a car hood and rode across a highway without the driver knowing she was there. Instead, one uploaded photo helped bring her home. Petco Love Lost matched Lucy's image with Ame's lost pet profile, and the family had her back in a little more than 24 hours. That to me is the reason this story is worth sharing.

The parade of Democratic Socialists ousting incumbent Democrats rolled on in Denver on Tuesday night with upstart 29-year-old, Ethiopian-born Milot Kiros defeating Rep. Diana DeGette, first elected to the seat before 9/11. Her would-be replacement justifies those attacks. Kiros and her commie allies may use the word "inevitable" as a euphemism for "justified," but in this context, they mean exactly the same disgraceful thing. In a recent interview, the socialist Kiros was asked if 9/11 was an inevitable consequence of American foreign policy. MUSLIM MAMDANI-BACKED SOCIALIST PRIMARY WINNER SUGGESTED AMERICA DESERVED 9/11 IN UNEARTHED VIDEO "Inevitable in the sense that we destabilized a lot of the Middle East, which led people to believe that another act of violence was the only response," Kiros replied. "Our responsibility is to get rid of those conditions that lead to violence in the first place." Let’s be clear, by calling the cold-blooded murder of nearly 3,000 Americans "inevitable," Kiros is saying that Usama bin Laden had no other choice but to commit this massacre, and further, that if only the United States had acted differently, then maybe Bin Laden could have avoided it. That is absolutely a justification for 9/11, because if the United States created the conditions that made it impossible for anything but a 9/11 style attack to happen, then how can we blame Bin Laden? He had no choice, right? FIREFIGHTER BROTHER OF 9/11 VICTIM INCENSED BY 'RADICAL' MUSLIMS WINNING KEY DEM PRIMARIES Some will argue that Kiros is simply stating the cause of 9/11, not justifying that cause. Obviously, the cause of 9/11 was resentment and anger at U.S. foreign policy. But when you say that cause made the attack "inevitable," you are saying Al Qaeda only did what it had to do. With all due respect to Kiros, who was 4 years old when the attack on our nation that to this day still leaves searing emptiness in the hearts of the tens of thousands who lost loved ones, there was nothing inevitable about it. Not one thing. For decades before 9/11, America sought peace in the region time and again. In fact, it was in 2000 that former President Bill Clinton says then-Palestinian leader Yasser Arrafat "walked away from a once-in-a-lifetime peace opportunity." A year later, Clinton’s efforts would be rewarded in American blood. MUSLIM MAMDANI-BACKED SOCIALIST PRIMARY WINNER SUGGESTED AMERICA DESERVED 9/11 IN UNEARTHED VIDEO I’m sorry, but Kiros and her purple-haired communist band of overeducated theater kids are not going to make America the bad guy of 9/11. We know exactly who the bad guy was, which is why we celebrated when former President Barack Obama took him out. In fairness to Kiros, while she is clearly saying that Bin Laden had justification for 9/11 based on America’s actions, she isn’t quite as ghoulish as podcaster and apparent kingmaker of the Democratic Party, Hasan Piker, who says America "deserved" 9/11. One can believe, as supporters of Israel do, that military action leading to civilian casualties is justified even though no civilian deserves to die, but clearly Piker does believe our 3,000 countrymen had that fate coming. This attempt by the far-left Marxists to make 9/11 a day of shame for Americans is not likely to work outside their small bubbles, even if they say "inevitable" instead of "justified." Because even 25 years later, what that day means to most Americans is pride in the sacrifice of those who gave their lives. Of course, for the Democratic Socialists, 9/11 is not about New York, or Washington, D.C., or Shanksville, Pa. Like everything else, it is about the poor terrorists in the Middle East who, in the DSA’s depraved minds, have no choice but to kill Americans. Just as, for those of us aged enough to remember the Cold War, it seems crazy that we must explain again why communism is bad, for those of us who truly remember 9/11, it seems crazy to blame the victims. But here we are. Not every act of murder and terrorism committed by jihadis across the globe is the inevitable result of American foreign policy, which by the way, has done more to uplift the freedom and prosperity of the global poor than any nation in history. Don’t let the communists get away with this shameful euphemism. Words mean things, and what Kiros and her ilk are clearly saying is that the attack on America was made inevitable and therefore justified, by America and its people. And it’s disgusting.

Dwight Freeney understands why the NFL has leaned further into streaming. He also sees why many fans are frustrated. The Pro Football Hall of Famer said he believes NFL games should remain broadly accessible, even as the league continues to place more games across subscription platforms. Freeney, who played 16 NFL seasons and finished his career with 125.5 sacks, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2024. "I don’t like it," Freeney said when asked about the growing number of services fans may need to follow the league. "Just to be honest with you, I think it should be accessible to all fans, no matter what your economic bracket is." CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM The issue has become a larger part of the NFL media conversation. The league’s 2026 schedule includes games across traditional broadcast networks, cable and multiple streaming platforms. According to the NFL, Prime Video will carry Thursday Night Football, Netflix will stream games in Week 1, on Thanksgiving Eve and on Christmas Day, and Peacock will exclusively stream a regular-season game in January. Freeney said the local fan experience should remain central. "If you can afford to get the local channels, you should be able to watch your favorite team on your local networks," he said. "And it shouldn’t be blacked out based on streaming and all of that." The NFL has noted that its games remain available free over the air in local markets. In its 2026 schedule announcement, the league said it is the only sports league that presents all regular-season and postseason games on free over-the-air television in local markets. But the broader access question has still drawn scrutiny in Washington. In June, the House Judiciary Committee released an interim staff report on the Sports Broadcasting Act and the NFL’s media model, saying fans increasingly need a combination of over-the-air, cable and streaming services to watch their favorite teams. The committee also said some fans must pay more than $600 per season to watch all of one team’s games. NFL ANNOUNCES INAUGURAL THANKSGIVING EVE GAME BETWEEN PACKERS AND RAMS WILL BE STREAMED ON NETFLIX Sen. Mike Lee also asked the Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission to examine whether the NFL’s current distribution practices still fit within the Sports Broadcasting Act’s limited antitrust protection. In that request, Lee said fans spent nearly $1,000 last season when cable, streaming and internet costs were combined. Freeney did not dismiss the business side of the arrangement. He said the league’s streaming and television deals have financial benefits, including for players. "I understand the money and the economics behind it," Freeney said. "A lot of money goes into signing those contracts with the Amazons and, you know, and I don’t even know if it’s Netflix now... I know it helps the players obviously, because the more money that you, the deals that you do off the field and TV deals, the more money the players are gonna get. And so I know it’s good for the league." But he is still concerned for the consumers. "The fans, I’m not so sure," Freeney said. That balance is where Freeney’s position sits. He recognizes that streaming gives some viewers more flexibility. Fans who have the right subscriptions can watch on tablets, phones and other devices, without being tied to a traditional television setup. "If you can afford it, great," Freeney said. "And then you have your iPad, you can bring it, you can stream everything, you don’t have to be at home, that’s great." But Freeney still believes the league should look for a model that keeps streaming available while preserving local access. "Maybe there’s a combination of things to whereas though they can do to whereas though you have the ability to stream, but it also is on your local networks," Freeney said. "I wish there was a way to figure that out." Freeney acknowledged that he is not personally shut out by the current system. He said he subscribes to the services he needs, and then some. But he knows that does not reflect the reality for every fan. "I’m a junkie," Freeney said. "I have all of them. I have every single streaming. Even if I don’t need it, I have it... "I’m blessed enough to be able to have that ability to get all of those things," Freeney said. "My cable bill or my streaming bill is probably one of the higher ones... Not everyone has that ability maybe," Freeney said. "So, you know, I think they should have some way of changing certain things." Even with every service, Freeney said the modern setup can still be difficult to follow. "Sometimes, you know, even me, I’m having a hard time finding games from time to time," he said. When asked what he is most interested in seeing during the upcoming NFL season, Freeney said he is looking for the team that exceeds expectations. "I think it’s just seeing what team is gonna be the new team this year that no one’s talked about," Freeney said. He said preseason predictions often miss on at least a few teams, even when the league’s most established rosters remain near the top. Every season, he said, there are teams that enter the year with little attention before emerging as legitimate contenders. "So I wanna see who those surprises are," Freeney said. As for Freeney's longtime team, the Indianapolis Colts, he saidIndianapolis Colts, saying Daniel Jones’ health will be a major factor in how far the offense can go. He praised head coach Shane Steichen’s ability to work with quarterbacks and said Jones could benefit if he trusts the system. "If Daniel can stay healthy, I mean, sky’s the limit," Freeney said. Defensively, Freeney said the Colts need to improve in key areas, particularly with the pass rush. As one of the best pass rushers of his generation, he said that will be one of the first things he watches. "My question is, are we gonna get the pass rush that we need?" Freeney said. "If we can kind of mix the coverage with the rush, I think we’re gonna be good." Freeney was more cautious when asked about the Seahawks’ chances of repeating. He said winning back-to-back championships is one of the hardest things to do in the NFL, especially in a competitive division. "I would bet against the fact that they’re gonna repeat," Freeney said. "But that doesn’t mean they’re not gonna have a good year." Freeney is making his return to the American Century Championship this month, saying he is trying to measure how much progress he has made since last year. "I’m trying to see if my golf game is up to par," Freeney said, adding that he believes he has "an opportunity to be better this year than last year." He described his previous performance as uneven, saying his game was "really good until it’s not." Freeney said the key for him is limiting the damage when a round starts to slip away. "My whole goal right now is just to get to a point where I can be consistent, and my bad can’t be that bad," he said. SIGN UP TO GET THE LATEST SPORTS NEWS Freeney said he is not focused on beating one particular competitor. Instead, he wants to manage the course, avoid letting one bad stretch turn into several bad holes, and put himself in position for a respectable finish. "I’m not playing any individual, I’m really playing the course," Freeney said. "As long as I can stay steady, play golf the way that I know I can play, I’m gonna be in the top 15, hopefully." He said he does not believe his game is ready to win the event, but he thinks he can compete for a top-15 or top-10 finish. View the full article

Matt Cardona knows a thing or two about the independent pro wrestling scene. After his release from WWE in April 2020, Cardona rebranded himself as the "Indy God" after spending years as Zack Ryder. He spent years cultivating his new look through several independent promotions and top companies in the U.S. whose names aren’t WWE or AEW. COMPLETE PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE ON FOX NEWS DIGITAL There are several pro wrestlers on the indies currently who are finding success with their own branding and marketing as well. Cardona named a few in a recent interview with Fox News Digital when asked who he thought was the new "Indy God." "Who’s the ‘Indy God?’ Oh, I don’t know if anyone’s the ‘Indy God.’ But there are people who definitely have stepped up. For instance, Shotzi, who was in WWE at one time. When she left, I think she copied the Matt Cardona formula and good on her and we had some incredible matches together. She’s somebody who cares. I think effort is very, very important not just in independent wrestling but professional wrestling in general. If you aren’t doing whatever you can to succeed, like, if you don’t treat yourself like a big deal, I don’t think anyone else will. I would definitely put Shotzi on that list. "Two others to look out for on the independents – Richard Holliday. He’s another one who is always on social media. He’s always trying to force himself down your throat just like I did when I was gone. When you’re not in WWE, you can’t take a day off of being on your phone. Like, Chelsea (Green), would always yell at me for always being on my phone, ‘You’re posting too much on social media.’ I said, babe, if you don’t want to be on your phone, WWE will post about you, WWE Shop will post about you, USA Network will post about you, ESPN, Netflix. If I don’t post about myself, no one is going to post about me. So, Richard Holliday, he’s taking that to heart. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM "Also, Ben Bishop, another guy. So, I would say, Shotzi, Ben Bishop and Richard Holliday, the three to look out for." Right now, Shotzi is the Major League Wrestling women’s world champion and has appeared in several different promotions around the world. Holliday and Bishop have also built up massive followings on social media, helping raise their profiles in the sport. Cardona shared some advice to those who were trying to follow his path. "It’s funny because guys and girls in the independents, they’d always ask me for advice. The answer was simple – don’t quit," he said. "Everyone has a different path. Everybody has a different journey but if you don’t quit … here’s what I would say, if you don’t quit, you might make it. If you quit, you definitely won’t. It’s as simple as that."
