Emily Leath, 26, stepped into the shower one day, not realizing that it was going to have a devastating impact on the rest of her life. Leath developed acanthamoeba keratitis (AK), a rare yet serious eye infection most often seen in contact lens wearers.

In the worst cases, AK can lead to permanent blindness or eye loss. Here is Leath’s story as told to writer Michelle Vartan.

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.”
