Indiana dog who 'cried endlessly' at shelter gets good news after video reaches thousands on Facebook
After spending more than 260 days at an Indiana animal shelter, a once-sad pup’s situation has taken a happier turn.
Major, a 4-year-old terrier pit bull mix, was brought into the Humane Society for Hamilton County as a stray.
After arriving, the team at the shelter called the number found on his microchip.

Since then, Major had been filled with stress after spending time in his kennel and his evenings were never silent as he sat in his room crying “endlessly,” the post continued.
The post showing a sorrowful Major garnered more than 260,000 views. The hope was for staff to help find him a loving family, preferably without cats.
Major’s tears have ceased, and the pup has finally found that loving family.

“As he walked out the door with his new family, we couldn’t help but feel a major-sized hole in our hearts, but it’s quickly filled with happiness knowing that he’s found his perfect match,” the Facebook post said.
The good news has continued to reach hundreds of thousands of users who have been following Major’s story since the beginning.
“To everyone who shared Major’s story, your support and kindness made all the difference. Because of you, Major’s tale reached far and wide, leading him straight to the loving arms of his new family,” staff at the humane society wrote.

“Thank you for being a part of Major’s journey and for helping us make miracles happen.”
In a separate post, the humane society reminded the public that there are so many animals that need homes.
“Every single dog here has their own story,” the post read. “They might not all have gone viral, but they are all just as deserving of love, care and a safe place to call home. The shelter is a stressful environment for them, and every day they wait for their turn.”
“Major, we’ll miss your playful antics and wagging tail, but we know that your new family will cherish you just as much as we have,” the humane society staff wrote on Facebook after Major made his grand exit. “Farewell, sweet boy, and may your days be filled with endless love and happiness.” (Humane Society for Hamilton County (Indiana))
“They have so much affection to give and are waiting for someone like you to change their world.”

Detroit man arrested following manhunt for double murder in Tennessee
STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. – A 28-year-old man from Detroit has been arrested for the murder of two people in Tennessee.
Troy Hutchinson and Rodrell Jeter were shot and killed Nov. 16, 2025, outside Nashville, Tennessee. A third man was hospitalized with critical injuries.
Police believe four men were traveling from Detroit to Atlanta in a Ford Bronco when the fourth man opened fire on the victims before leaving in the vehicle. The Bronco was found abandoned in Kentucky, just south of Cincinnati in Ohio.
Jeter and the man who was hospitalized were both from Detroit, while Hutchinson is from Atlanta.
A motive for the shooting remains unknown.
In late November, police identified the suspect as Dashonn Moten. He was indicted on 17 counts, including two counts of first-degree murder, attempted murder, and two counts of felony murder.
After nearly two months, Moten was arrested Friday, Jan. 10, in Sterling Heights and is awaiting extradition to Tennessee for his arraignment.
If convicted, Moten faces possible execution.

Milwaukee County gets $25M federal grant for 67 road safety projects
See the aftermath of high-speed reckless driving in Milwaukee
Journalist James Causey and his wife narrowly escaped a high-speed chase and accident when an SUV ran past them and through an intersection, colliding with a Mercedes.
Milwaukee County will receive nearly $25 million in federal funding for 67 traffic safety projects along 10 of the county’s most hazardous roadways, according to a Jan. 12 announcement from County Executive David Crowley’s office.
That funding will support upgrades for pedestrian infrastructure, intersections and high-speed corridors in Milwaukee, West Allis, Glendale, Brown Deer, Shorewood and on multiple county highways.
Collectively, these projects could reduce fatal and serious injury crashes in hazardous areas by 26%–50% and save an estimated $1.2 billion in car crash costs over 20 years, according to the announcement.
Preliminary designs are anticipated to begin in 2027, with all projects completed by 2031.
The funding comes through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets and Roads for All Grant, which the county’s Department of Transportation applied for in 2025 as part of its Complete Communities Transportation Planning Project, an initiative to increase safety and reduce reckless driving across its roadways.
Already, the county has analyzed crash data, identified 25 “Corridors of Concern,” and reviewed potential project opportunities.
Milwaukee County’s award amounts to the third-largest grant in the federal program’s 2025 funding cycle. It will be managed by the county and distributed to the five municipal recipients.
The municipalities will lead the projects and provide a 20% local match to support costs.
More details about the projects’ locations will be posted on the transportation department’s website, according to the announcement.
The 65 infrastructure projects and two studies enabled by the grant aim to improve safety along 10 hazardous roadways the county has identified.
Pedestrian infrastructure upgrades will include high-visibility crosswalks, upgraded pedestrian walk signals, restricting right-turn-on-red options, and sidewalk network expansion.
Intersection upgrades will include traffic signal upgrades, better visibility for pedestrians, bump-outs, and select geometric realignments. High-speed corridor upgrades will entail traffic calming improvements that help drivers stay in their lanes.
One of the projects will also seek to reduce reckless driving on the 16th Street viaduct, the 27th Street viaduct and the 35th Street viaduct.
The grant will also fund a safety analysis study on West Lincoln Avenue between South 124th Street and South 52nd Street, which will issue recommendations for future projects. The grant will also fund a county Department of Transportation report assessing the county’s progress toward the Vision Zero goal.
