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.

The heartwarming video shared on May 18 shows Major joyously running up to the employees and saying goodbye before leaving with his adoptive 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.”

BADLANDS, S.D (KELO)– Cars and campers full of visitors are visiting Badlands National Park today. Tourists are traveling from other states to be in South Dakota for America’s 250th.
“I mean, it’s the kind of thing that you build a road trip for,” said William Retherford, who traveled from Indiana with his family.
For the out-of-state travelers, the beauty of the Badlands can be surprising.
“You picture South Dakota, you think flatland and grass,” said Michael Balafas, who traveled to SD from Idaho. “There are some pockets of South Dakota that are absolutely stunning.”
“It’s hard to even believe that it exists,” said Retherford.
Both families are also enjoying other sites during their trips to western South Dakota.
“What my mom says a lot of the time is, it’s not about the destination but the journey,” said Aralyn Balafas.
Retherford and his family had hoped to be at Mount Rushmore for Friday’s fireworks show.
“We entered eight different ways but didn’t get any tickets,” said Retherford.
Despite not being at the landmark for the show, the trip is well worth it for the country’s 250th.
“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I mean, we’ll never get to do that again,” said Michael.
“This is the kind of trip that you wait a lifetime for,” said Retherford.
Reaction to Shawn Eichorst as potentially the next Wisconsin AD
On the Terrace View podcast, John Steppe and Mark Stewart give initial thoughts on reported connection between Shawn Eichorst and open UW AD job.
MADISON – Shawn Eichorst will start as Wisconsin’s athletic director with a higher annual salary than his predecessor.
Eichorst will make an annual salary of $1.6 million along with built-in annual increases and incentives, a university spokesman told the Journal Sentinel.
That is above Chris McIntosh’s $1.5 million annual salary for the 2025-26 academic year. (That consisted of $1 million from the university and $500,000 from the UW Foundation.) McIntosh’s salary was set to increase by $50,000 for each year of his contract, which would have gone through June 30, 2029.
It also is well above Marcus Sedberry’s $875,000 annual salary for the nearly three months when he was interim AD. Sedberry’s salary is set to return to $334,805 “plus any intervening pay adjustments,” according to the offer letter from April.
An open records request from the Journal Sentinel for Eichorst’s contract, which will include more details about the increases and incentives, is pending.
Eichorst previously served as the deputy AD and chief operating officer at Texas for the last eight years. He also was Miami’s AD in 2011-12 and Nebraska’s AD from 2012-17. Before Miami, the Lone Rock native spent five years working with the Badgers under Barry Alvarez.
Former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold is already planning for his future, after being released by the team that invested a first-round pick to select him back in 2024.
According to his attorney Harvey Steinberg, the former Alabama Crimson Tide defensive back has already been contacted by three NFL team’s in the last 48 hours.
Arnold has now hit the league’s waiver wire, as his release has become official.
Steinberg explained, in reply to a recent motion by Florida prosecutors to have Arnold fitted with a GPS tether, “Mr. Arnold is not a flight risk, nor is he a danger to the community. He is confined to his home by both court conditions and media scrutiny and anticipates that he will have employment with another NFL team within 30 days.”
Additional Insider Analysis: How Detroit Lions Depth Chart Changes Without Terrion Arnold
Here are five team’s that could take a chance and sign Arnold, should he clear waivers.
Jets
Aaron Glenn is now the head coach of the AFC East squad. Detroit’s former defensive coordinator may want to reunite with a player he worked very closely with for a season. Because of Glenn’s nature as a strong relationship builder with players, there could be a bond between the two parties that could be beneficial for Arnold.
The former NFL defensive back may be the only coach who can instantly reach the 23-year-old and keep him focused on improving his craft.
Commanders
Washington is in an interesting spot at the cornerback position. Mike Sainristil’s production dipped in 2025 after a strong rookie campaign, while 2025 second-round pick Trey Amos is expected to start opposite of him.
The Commanders signed former Lion Amik Robertson to be their nickel cornerback, but could benefit from adding some competition to the room. They could view Arnold as a player who would bring just that.
Cowboys
After Trevon Diggs was waived, the Cowboys were in the market for a second cornerback opposite of DaRon Bland. They signed Cobie Durant from the Los Angeles Rams, and drafted Caleb Downs to be their nickel.
However, Arnold has starting experience and could be a player the Cowboys view as competition for Durant and Bland. He could also be injury insurance, as Bland has been limited to 19 games over the last two seasons.
Chiefs
The Chiefs made a big change to their secondary this offseason, as Trent McDuffie was traded to the Los Angeles Rams. They drafted Mansoor DeLane in the first-round, and reunited with veteran L’Jarius Sneed.
However, their depth remains questionable, and currently their backups include Kristian Fulton and 2025 third-round pick Nohl Williams. Arnold would give them some experienced depth.
Buccaneers
The cornerback position may be the biggest question mark on the Buccaneers’ defense. There are a lot of talented options within the group, but there’s uncertainty in the secondary. Right now, the starters are expected to be Zyon McCollum and Benjamin Morrison.
Behind those two, Josh Hayes and Damarion Williams are both backups but neither played a defensive snap last season. As a result, a player like Arnold could be the ideal find for them who could compete for a starting spot on the outside.
