How a service dog in training is supporting Leesburg police

Published Wed, 13 Nov 2024 16:36:42 GMT

The Leesburg Police Department in Virginia had long toyed with the idea of a wellness program involving a dog for officers, so when Officer Kristine Rzewnicki came across the nonprofit Thin Line Service Dogs over the summer, she was sold.Rzewnicki filled out an application to become a volunteer and help train a puppy, starting a process she anticipated would help her colleagues. And then, she learned she’d be getting a 1-year-old golden retriever.Mooney, named after Stafford County Deputy Sheriff Jason Mooney who was killed on the job in 2007, has only been on the job for about two weeks, but Rzewnicki said his presence has already had a significant impact on some officers.Unlike some police dogs trained to escort officers in the community, Mooney’s main job is supporting officers within the department. Sometimes, in the event of a “critical incident,” such as a pediatric patient who codes or an injured officer, Mooney will leave the office to support Rzewnicki’s colleagues in the f...

Published Wed, 13 Nov 2024 16:36:42 GMT

DENVER (AP) — Count Sean Payton among those who wonder why the Denver Broncos’ first-year coach can’t ever seem to enjoy himself.After chewing out his defensive coordinator on the sideline and snapping at a reporter from the podium following Denver’s 19-17 win over Green Bay, Payton finally had something to celebrate in Denver with his team’s first win after three losses at Empower Field.“Sometimes it’s hard to be pleased or not upset, you know,” Payton said Monday. “You want to play your perfect game and that was a good win for us and yet I’m driving home last night, you know, heading to get sushi — I don’t like sushi — and finding myself circling around the parking lot like, ‘All right, why can’t I be happy?’“Well, you’re searching for the perfect game, and so I’m just that way. I’m gonna wear my emotions on my sleeve.”Hold up, before we go any further. Why is he going to a sushi place if he’s not a big ...

Son delivers best impression of Kane to lead Spurs to 2-0 win over Fulham and top of Premier League

Published Wed, 13 Nov 2024 16:36:42 GMT

LONDON (AP) — With a clinical finish and a neat assist, Son Heung-min delivered his best impression of Harry Kane to propel Tottenham back to the top of the Premier League on Monday.The 2-0 win over Fulham showed once again that Tottenham can thrive without the departed Kane this season.Especially with Son, the player who has replaced Kane as the team’s center forward, in such prolific form.Both of Tottenham’s goals came from the same source — Fulham defender Calvin Bassey giving away possession when passing out from the back under pressure — and Son had a key role in each of them.In the 36th minute, the South Korea captain was on hand to collect a pass from Richarlison after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg intercepted Bassey’s clearance. Son showed great footwork to cut inside, around covering defender Tim Ream, and curl a shot into the far corner from the edge of the area.The second goal, scored by playmaker James Maddison in the 54th, was similar as Hojbjerg again stopped a pass from Basse...
