They may look like giant teddy bears (and can weigh up to 175lb / 80kg) but their webbed feet and water-repellent coats mean they are perfect for water rescue missions. If you’re into <a href="https://www.advnture.com/features/how-to-stay-safe-in-open-water" rel="nofollow"> open water swimming </a> it’d be a good idea to have one of these guys around, just in case. But Hobie the Newfoundland clearly loved the water even more than most of his breed. As this video proves, it’s difficult to get him out of the water. Filmed last week in Wyresdale Park in Scorton, UK, the clip stars Hobie, who was on a water rescue training session run by the Blackpool Working Newfoundlands group, where he other dogs were practising life-saving skills. But Hobie was clearly enjoying himself so much, there was no way those pesky humans were going to drag him out of the lake. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> Hobie let’s them think he’s playing ball as he almost fully emerges, then he makes &nbsp;a break for it, using a nearby <a href="https://www.advnture.com/news/orcas-swim-under-paddleboarder" rel="nofollow"> paddleboard </a> to aid him in his escape attempt. He ends up floating on it quite happily, looking very please with himself. <iframe data-lazy-src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=420&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Flancashireeveningpost%2Fvideos%2F1005462847921373%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=560&amp;t=0" height="420" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=420&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Flancashireeveningpost%2Fvideos%2F1005462847921373%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=560&amp;t=0" width="100%"></iframe> Brooke Schofield, co-founder of the Blackpool Working Newfoundlands group, admitted to the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lancashireeveningpost" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Lancashire Evening Post </a> that the breed could be a little headstrong, adding, “They have a natural instinct, if they see a human in water they really don’t like it. They will do anything they can to get the person out. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> “We help them get their confidence in the water and do activities like swimming out to people, taking a rope, towing a boat. “The dogs really enjoy it as it’s what they were bred for.” She admitted, though, that &nbsp;“[Hobie] really did not want to come out.” <ul><li><a href="https://www.advnture.com/buying-guides/best-road-running-shoes" rel="nofollow"> The best road running shoes 2024: </a> hit the streets at speed </li></ul></div>

While beach vacations promise sun and fun, digging holes in the sand can be perilously deceptive. In February 2024, a 7-year-old girl tragically died when a 5-foot sand hole she and her brother dug collapsed, burying her alive. This tragic incident highlights a lesser-known danger that claims more lives than shark attacks. Sand, particularly when dry, is highly unstable and can collapse suddenly, trapping and suffocating victims within minutes. Unlike avalanches, where trapped individuals can form air pockets, sand’s heavy grains fill all spaces, leaving no room to breathe. Rescue efforts are complicated by the sand’s weight and instability, necessitating swift and precise actions to prevent further collapse. Experts recommend keeping hole depths to no more than 2 feet and maintaining vigilance. From 1997 to 2007, collapsing sand holes caused 31 deaths in the U.S., primarily among young boys. Holes as shallow as 2 feet have proven fatal. To prevent such tragedies, always fill in holes after digging and stay cautious of existing pits. As enjoyable as digging may seem, the hidden dangers far outweigh the fun. Stay safe and prioritize awareness over thrill.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.
