These wonderful compact curly-coated water dogs emerged from the truffle regions of Italy decades ago, but are not recorded as arriving on USA soil until the 1990s. The Lagotto is the only breed of dog in the world recognized as a specialized truffle hunter. The first US litter was born in 1999. A Yahoo Group for the breed was established in 1999. Early imports included Truffie who won Best in Show at an ARBA show in 1998. The breed was accepted into the AKC Foundation Stock Service in 2001. In 2007, a small group formed what is now the Lagotto Romagnolo Club of America with a charter membership of 39 persons.

When confronted with a charging bear, the instinct to flee can be dangerously misleading. Running from a bear can provoke its instinct to chase, escalating the situation into a potentially fatal encounter. Instead, experts recommend standing your ground, making yourself appear larger, and creating loud noises to ward off the animal. A recent video shared by Scenic Bear Viewing in Alaska demonstrated this technique, showing a group of photographers facing down a grizzly bear. One of the guides, Martin, even mimicked charging the bear, successfully causing it to retreat. This approach works because most charges are bluffs, meant to intimidate rather than attack.

You Should Never Run From a Charging Bear But Here’s What You Should Do Instead

He’s a money-making mini-mogul.

A plucky South Florida tween with business on the brain found himself a rather sophisticated side hustle this summer — owning and operating his very own vending machine. 

Adrian Peña, 12, decided to take a bite out of the snack racket after a TikTok how-to video awakened his entrepreneurial spirit. 



The middle school-aged munchie merchant looked at his savings, figured out his budget and began scouring eBay and Facebook for a second-hand machine — which he wound up purchasing for $1,500. 

“I did my research,” Peña proudly told The Post of his new venture.
