Patricia Heaton says Hollywood became so politically one-sided that she helped build a private network for people to meet in secret just to speak freely...
This was filmed last Wednesday afternoon at Veterinary Clinic in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The officer is Sergeant Paul Greer.
He is 41 years old.
A fourteen-year veteran of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
The dog is Bruno.
A ten-year-old German Shepherd who worked for eight years as Paul's K9 partner before a joint disease ended his career two years ago.
When Bruno retired from active duty, Paul adopted him immediately.
Brought him home.
Bruno spent his retirement on Paul's couch, on Paul's bed, and in the passenger seat of Paul's personal truck.
The change from working partner to family companion was smooth and easy.
Bruno had always been Paul's dog.
The badge and the vest were simply part of the job.
Over the past several months, Bruno's condition had been getting worse.
The joint disease spread.
He had trouble standing up.
Stopped eating regularly.
Paul had been working with Dr. Angela Reese at Riverside for months to keep Bruno as comfortable as possible.
Last Tuesday evening, Bruno stopped getting up completely.
Paul called Dr. Reese that night.
Wednesday afternoon, Paul drove Bruno to Riverside.
He carried Bruno in from the truck himself.
Wouldn't let the staff carry him.
Paul's partner, Officer Dana Choi, came with him.
She quietly recorded on her phone from the corner of the room.
She later told us she asked Paul's permission before she started recording.
He nodded.
Paul sat on the exam table with Bruno resting across his lap and chest.
Bruno's head rested on Paul's shoulder.
His eyes were half open.
His breathing was slow and calm.
Paul lowered his head and pressed his face into Bruno's fur.
Bruno stayed still for a long moment.
Then slowly — carefully — he lifted both front paws.
One at a time.
And wrapped them around Paul's shoulders.
And held on.
Paul made a sound that Dana said she will never forget.
Dr. Reese, who was standing nearby getting ready, became completely still.
Her assistant stepped back.
Nobody moved.
Dana told us:
“Bruno could barely lift his head that morning.
But he lifted his paws and held Paul.
In that moment, with everything he had left, he held him.
I think he was saying thank you.
I think he was saying goodbye in his own way.”
Paul stayed in that position for a long time.
The room stayed quiet.
Bruno passed away peacefully a short time later while being held in Paul's arms.
Paul sent a message to his precinct group chat that evening.
It said:
“Bruno is at peace.
He was the best partner I ever had.
Eight years on the force and two years at home.
He worked hard, loved hard, and left this world the same way.
Holding on.”
The precinct held a small informal memorial the next morning.
Bruno's vest and badge number were framed and placed in the K9 unit hallway.
Some partners help carry you through the hardest years of your life.
And in the end, if you are very lucky, they find just enough strength to hold you one last time.
I was saddened to hear that Dolly Parton died today. She was one of those rare Americans who everyone just seemed to like. She had 11 brothers and sisters, and they grew up in a one-bedroom log cabin in the mountains of Tennessee. She often talked about going to a small church where her grandfather preached, and she started singing hymns and playing guitar there at a very young age. I'm sure her family would appreciate your prayers.
President Trump just ordered U.S. flags lowered to half-staff nationwide for a full week in honor of Dolly Parton.
That is extremely special. Presidential half-staff orders are almost always reserved for presidents, vice presidents, justices, members of Congress, governors, or major national tragedies. Pure entertainers and cultural icons almost never get a nationwide presidential directive like this!
Whitney Houston only got state-level recognition in New Jersey, and even Elvis didn’t receive a formal federal order of this scope.
A weeklong national tribute for the Queen of Country is genuinely rare. It underscores just how deeply her music, philanthropy, and larger-than-life presence cut across America.
Dolly Parton somehow stayed 25 for 55 years, built an empire in rhinestones, loved God without weaponizing it, welcomed everybody, gave back endlessly and made being kind look powerful. ❤️
Ultra feminine. Business savvy. Inclusive. Faithful. Funny. Generous. Completely Dolly.
There will NEVER be another one. Rest beautifully, Dolly. 🕊️💎
In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy.
She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid.
The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%.
She handed out the checks herself.
In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college.
When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months.
You've probably heard that part.
Here's the part you haven't:
The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top.
Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave.
She built her county an entire hospital.
She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it.
In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees.
Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal.
In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release.
And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it.
She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway.
She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did.
Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸
He ran his race with boldness, never wavering in his love for Christ or his mission to share the truth. Grateful for the impact he made in such a short life, and praying for Erika, their children, and all who loved him. 🙏 💔 🕊️ 🇺🇸 ❤️🤍💙
Christians, if you haven’t already, you need to unfollow @chipgaines, @joannagaines & @magnolianetwork.
Their defense of unbiblical lifestyles and slandering Christians, who have righteously called them out and asked questions, should cause you to not support them in any way.
More than anything, pray that The Lord convicts them and they repent of their ways. They need to be a good steward of what God has blessed them with, not conform to the world.
Yes, this is a call for a 💯% boycott.
Don’t spend your money on their products. Don’t watch their shows. Don’t support them as they affirm sin, slander Christians that dare to question them, while parading around as faithful Christians.
Absolutely horrific views from last night’s tornadoes in the Cumberland Valley of Kentucky. You just don’t typically get tornadoes like this or see photos like this of tornadoes in the area. Send prayers and support to those in southern Kentucky. They need all the help they can.
