This is a feel-good story...
A caving project became a rescue mission after a dog was found 500 feet down
After the project cavers found Abby,
they left a light for her while Gerry Keene went to get help to get the dog out.
Gerry Keene was about 20 minutes into his caving excursion in the Tom Moore cave system near Perryville, Mo., when one of the kids with him said there was a dog ahead of them.
Dogs don't usually dwell in caves, but sure enough, there was a dog curled up on the mud floor.
"She didn't look real good," Keene said.
"I mean, she had 11 people walk by her with lights and she just basically lifted her head, but she wouldn't move at all."
It was clear the dog was not in the right place, so Keene left the cave and started going to nearby houses with a photo of the dog to try and find its owner. Word got around and the dog's owner met Keene at the entrance to the cave and identified her as his dog Abby, who had been missing since June 9.
The owner was shocked to hear his dog was alive. Since Abby had been missing for so long, he told the rescuers that he assumed she was likely gone forever.

Mistress Maddie has a weekly feature called "In Three Words". One of the comments spoke volumes to me, which I'm re-posting here...
Liz Cheney

Cap Chasen - 8/20/2022
Won't fool me.
Sorry Mistress but I'm not buying her
I am aware that many Dems view Liz Cheney as a hero simply because she stood up to Trump. ONCE! She voted with him 94% of the time. Let's look at a few of Liz's past positions. Maybe we'll want to stop legitimizing this hard-right monster.
She tweeted with delight when Trump judges Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett were appointed. -She's pro-war and pro-torture. -She's anti-choice and has defended her father's warmongering and corruption. Wanna talk to me about how she's a defender of democracy because she doesn't like Trump? Her dad helped George W. Bush steal the 2000 election. Do the Democrats now donating to Liz have no memory? Or are Dem donors GOP in disguise?
She opposed the Voting Rights Act, min wage increase, Equality Act, Equal Rights Amendment, George Floyd Act, Build Back Better, the infrastructure bill, Inflation Reduction Act, $35 insulin bill, anti-gas price gouging bill and The Women's Health Protection Act. And she opposed gay marriage despite having a gay sister.
Hey Dems! You're new hero is a zero. I recommend reading this whole piece from Jacobin.
"What makes liberals’ worship of Cheney today particularly incongruous is that for the better part of a decade, she was best known for relentlessly attacking our favorite president, Barack Obama, often using the most scurrilous dog whistles."
