Home improvements …With travel and entertainment options outside the home limited, people have been putting money into their homes.

More proof that we don’t deserve dogs …A South Dakota couple were out hiking when their dog took a rattlesnake bite to protect them. Now what kind of big, brave dog did this? A little 11-year-old Yorkshire Terrier named Bear.

Devin Diede and his wife, Alex, were hiking on a trail in the Black Hills National Forest when they came upon the rattlesnake. Their dog noticed the rattlesnake before they did, and moved in to protect his owners. "Alex would have stepped on the snake and [it would've] bit her if Bear had not been there to take the bite," Devin told local news stationKEVN.

Devin and Alex rushed Bear to the vet. After a blood transfusion and a “heartbreaking” night, Bear pulled through. "He’s doing surprisingly well. He’s walking around just fine and as happy as could be. He’s a tough little guy and most definitely a hero," Devin said. (People)
