Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. 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.”

Pakistan will use a unique strategy in their upcoming Test against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi. They will use an all-pace attack, a plan not used by Pakistan in 28 years. This plan was triggered after Abrar Ahmed was released from the squad to join the Shaheens. This will be the only second time since September 1995 that Pakistan will be going into a home test without a front-line spinner. That has been part of a broader strategy to play with extra pace.
