Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie who is looking for her forever home. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

The St. Louis Cardinals' first half has certainly been a bumpy ride, but with the best record in the National League since Mother's Day, just one All-Star representative in Ryan Helsley seems a bit unfair. After Helsley announced he won't be participating in the All-Star Game, fans won't see a single Cardinal take the field in Arlington. At 50-46, they currently own the second Wildcard spot and the fifth-best record in the NL, so how come they only have a single All-Star? Here are four Cardinals players unfairly snubbed from the All-Star Game in 2024.
