At this point‚ it seems as though there’s nothing the iconic Dolly Parton hasn’t done — just last night‚ she added “be a Pet Gala host” to her list! It wasn’t long ago that the country singer first announced this special event featuring her famous friends‚ music‚ and lots of adorable pups. As if that doesn’t sound amazing enough‚ there was even a dog fashion show! To kick off the event‚ Parton sang a particularly fitting song of hers: Puppy Love. Parton has lots and lots of songs‚ but this one holds a special place in her heart like no other. That’s because it’s the very first single that she recorded — and she was only 13 years old when she did! Parton would go on to include it in her very first album. It’s also the first song of hers she heard on the radio. .@dollyparton kicked off #DollysPetGala with her newest version of “Puppy Love” pic.twitter.com/8AWuozfnd1— Doggy Parton (@DoggyParton) February 22‚ 2024 “I remember the first time I heard myself on the radio‚” she shares in her 2020 book‚ Songteller. “I about killed myself — I was sitting up on the counter‚ and the radio was on — I jumped off the counter and slid and fell trying to get to the radio to turn it up.” Dolly Parton Kicks Off Pet Gala With Puppy Love The song is about young love‚ but it also made for a fitting opener to the Pet Gala. Parton donned a bright red outfit featuring dog paws‚ only adding to the already pawsome start to the show. Fans at home immediately took to social media to rave over the iconic performance. YouTube Then‚ soon after‚ Parton delighted fans even more with a surprise. Turns out‚ she recently re-recorded Puppy Love‚ and it’s available to stream right now! This latest release is called Puppy Love (Billy Version)‚ which is fittingly in honor of her French bulldog with the same name. You can never truly know what Parton will do next — and we love her all-the-more for it! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

This scene might give you nightmares if you remember The Neverending Story. A 1‚200-pound white horse became trapped in a Los Angeles sinkhole. Like Artax‚ the horse Lucky was stuck in mud up to her neck and sinking. This story does have a happy ending‚ as you can see below‚ as the owners offer her carrots. Image from X (Twitter). Lucky is a 20-year-old white Paso Fino horse. The breed is an exceptional trail-riding horse and is very popular for pleasure riding. They also make great show horses with a specific gait‚ smaller frame‚ and delicate features. Maria Lastre‚ Lucky’s owner‚ was riding her in the backyard of their San Fernando Valley home. Maria’s husband‚ Juan Lastre‚ thought the horse had just tripped but quickly realized she was sinking in mud. Maria was able to scramble to safety‚ but Lucky just kept sinking. After briefly attempting to free the horse from the sinkhole‚ the Lastre’s called for assistance. Image from X (Twitter). The rescue party included more than 60 LAFD firefighters‚ Animal Services personnel‚ and the “Specialized Mobile Animal Rescue Team” (SMART). SMART is familiar with this type of large animal rescue operation. The Sanitation Department was on the scene with heavy equipment. The entire rescue was documented on X (Twitter) by LAFD Public Information Officer (PIO) Erik Scott. PIO Scott posted several videos during and after the rescue. #LakeviewTerrace horse rescue. Your @LAFD #Firefighters will remove this beautiful 1200 pound horse &; help her live up to her name‚ “Lucky“. pic.twitter.com/NW6YtahfFd— Erik Scott (@PIOErikScott) February 21‚ 2024 Workers used hand shovels to remove as much mud as possible around Lucky. An excavator was necessary to move dirt and mud to create a trench. That allowed personnel to help the horse and to keep the sinkhole from refilling. A Happy Ending For Lucky The Horse After Rescue From A Sinkhole Rescuers attempted to help the horse out of the sinkhole with manpower alone. Later‚ they attached harnesses and used the hydraulic arm of the excavator to lift the horse out of the sinkhole. Lucky is free! pic.twitter.com/eFCNlgzGIx— Erik Scott (@PIOErikScott) February 21‚ 2024 After rescuing the horse from the sinkhole‚ Lucky got food and a bath. She was eating well. Animal services personnel checked her for injuries. Fortunately‚ she appeared unharmed after the traumatic experience. The entire rescue operation took around three hours. Lucky and her owners are grateful to all the dedicated rescuers who assisted. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here and here.
