At this point, one wonders how much sympathy we should bother extending to our deeply propagandized neighbors.

A lonely puppy was found wandering the streets of Wales with a "help me" sign hanging from his collar, but, thankfully, he is now in good hands! We humans love our pets and perhaps our dogs most of all. So, it's sad to consider having to leave one behind. Unfortunately, life's circumstances sometimes make it impossible to care for a canine companion or feline friend. That appears to have been the situation for the family or individual owner of sweet Chase. RELATED: Couple Going Door-to-Door to Find Lost Dog's Owner Stop As They Hear Cries for Help Chase Was Found With a Help Me Sign Chase was found in the town of Bridgend, Wales, which is 20 miles west of Cardiff. Attached to Chase's collar was an envelope that read, "Help me!! My name is Chase." Inside the envelope was a heartbreaking note that provided more information about the abandoned dog. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hope Rescue (@hoperescuewales) According to Wales Online, the note read, "My name is Chase. I am 1 yr old November 16. I am very friendly and kind, good with kids. I need a new home as my owner cannot take care of me. Please help me. Thank you." When Chase and the note were discovered, he was taken to Hope Rescue. Chase was "very nervous" and "shell-shocked" after being on the streets; however, the shelter provided lots of love, and he slowly became more trusting. Initially, Chase stayed in his kennel and chose not to play or interact, but he eventually became more comfortable with the shelter's staff. Chase is now waiting for a forever home while in the loving care of a wonderful foster family. Hope Rescue told Wales Online, "A foster home came forward. They've got two little dogs that he's really enjoying the company of and he's already starting to show his playful side. Although he's been through a really stressful situation, we're hoping that now he is on the way up and will have a lovely life with his people."

They also posted a photo of him being held by one of their staff members. They hoped that Chase's owner might see the post and find comfort in knowing that Chase is now safe and being well cared for. Hope Rescue further shared, "In July alone we received 156 calls to take in 226 dogs. We took in 72 dogs in July, and this month so far we have already taken in 146 dogs. Most of these dogs are strays or dogs seized from illegal and low welfare breeders. With the animal welfare sector in crisis, we know how hard it is to find rescue spaces right now, but we would urge owners to still call local and breed rescues and try their hardest to wait for a space." The People story and the Instagram post received both kind and critical comments. Many readers had a hard time fathoming how an owner could leave their pet to fend for itself. A few seemed to understand that it might be unavoidable. What a blessing it is that Chase's story turned out well, thanks to an alert citizen and the work of their local pet shelter.

A strike looms for the second-busiest U.S. ocean container port and dozens of ports from Maine to Texas. “Strike preparations are underway at the Port of New York-New Jersey, Port Director Bethann Rooney said in a letter to customers, offering details on operational plans during the stoppage,” FreightWaves reports. Port of NY-NJ Prepares for Potential Strike The Port of New York-New Jersey, the second-busiest U.S. ocean container port, is gearing up for a possible strike set to begin at midnight on October 1. The International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA), representing 25,000 workers,… https://t.co/973vE4EDyX pic.twitter.com/vWsEqWkAiy — -e?- (@eXonX589) September 26, 2024 Per FreightWaves: The International Longshoremen’s Association representing 25,000 members in container and roll-on/roll-off services covered under the current master contract will walk off the job when the contract with port employers represented by the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) expires at midnight Oct. 1. The pact covers workers at three dozen ports from Maine to Texas handling some $92 billion worth of freight each year. No contract negotiations are scheduled. Major issues are wages, benefits and port automation. The union on Monday termed the latest wage offers “stingy” and disputed claims by USMX that the union is demanding wage hikes of more than 75% over a proposed six-year agreement. Some people warned to stock up due to the looming strike.

It was unclear just how fast the NLRB might act on the request. A message was left seeking comment from the agency. Its unlikely that the NLRB will rule on the complaint before the Tuesday strike deadline, and with no talks scheduled, a strike appears to be likely. The NLRB request comes just four days before the ILA’s six-year contract with the ports expires, and the union representing 45,000 dockworkers from Maine to Texas says it will go on strike at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday. The two sides haven’t bargained since June in a dispute largely over wages and a union-proposed ban on increased automation of port cranes, gates and trucks that could cost jobs. A message also was left Thursday seeking comment from the union. “USMX has been clear that we value the work of the ILA and have great respect for its members,” the alliance statement said. “We have a shared history of working together and are committed to bargaining.” In early bargaining, industry analysts say the union sought 77% pay raises over six years to make up for inflation and give workers a chunk of the billions made by shipping companies since the coronavirus pandemic.
