Human DNA test kits are all the buzz right now, but the newest trend is DNA tests for your pet. But can you trust the results? Meet Potato. He was rescued by his owner Bart Fletjterski. "Potato was advertised as a corgi," Fletjterski says. However, that just didn’t seem right when looking at Potato. Fletjterski says he’s been trying to figure out what kind of dog Potato really is. "The guesses vary from St. Bernard mix to collie mix to Anatolian shepherd,” Fletjterski says. Fletjterski agreed to try DNA tests for pets to find out. In order to ensure accuracy, Potato’s DNA was submitted to three different companies, using their kits. The companies were Embark, Wisdom Panel and DNA My Dog. Potato’s DNA was collected by swabbing, which he was not a fan of. "What's interesting to me is that a lot of those same techniques that would be used for forensics or paternity applications are being moved into this realm of identifying the breed of dog or even identifying individual dogs," says Dr. Andrew Bonham, chair of chemistry at MSU Denver, who does a lot of DNA work. It took about a month to get the test results. According to Embark, Potato is primarily Siberian Husky, mixed with some other breeds. Wisdom Panel identified Potato as Siberian Husky, too, along with a few other breeds. Both companies provided similar test results, with some variations in the percentage and types of breed. However, the third test produced results that differed majorly from the other kits. According to DNA My Dog, Potato is not primarily Siberian Husky; he's Samoyed. So, what could cause the major differences? "There's different algorithms that are used to try to understand ancestry and different companies will use different algorithms," explains Adam Boyko, founder and chief science officer at Embark Veterinary. Embark says you can get different results based on the company’s data sets and how they analyze the data. As the data grows, so will the ability to narrow in on your dog's breed. "Over time, you can log back in and you can learn more about your dog than when you first had it," Boyko says. DNA My Dog did not want to go on camera, but they sent a statement, saying in part: "The sample taken had all of the DNA. It just didn't match well with anything."The first sample sent to DNA My Dog got contaminated, but that came as no surprise. The company asked for the sample to be sent in an envelope, while the two other companies provided a sealed container. DNA My Dog was the cheapest of the three tests. It was bucks, compared to Wisdom Panel at and Embark at 9, with a coupon code. As for dog owner Fletjterski, he says he’s happy to finally have a better idea of what Potato is. 2726

Gander, Newfoundland is a tiny Canadian town on an island in the Atlantic Ocean — so tiny, in fact, that according to Mayor Claude Elliott, the town only has six traffic lights.Elliott has lived in Gander for more than 40 years. He served as mayor for more than half that time before he retired two years ago."Oh, the people are generous. They love helping people," Elliott said.But 18 years ago, Gander's welcoming spirit got put to the test.After the terror attacks on September 11, 2001, the FAA shut down American airspace for the first time in history. Due to Gander's proximity to Europe, 38 commercial planes with nearly 7,000 people on board were diverted to the town's airport. Overnight, the town's population nearly doubled."What do we do with 7,000 people?" Elliott said. "We've only got 500 hotel rooms."Weary passengers watched as day turned into night. Some ended up stuck on their planes for more than 12 hours.But what the passengers couldn't see is the urgent effort by the people of Gander, working to make sure the tired travelers would feel welcome once they got off the plane.The people of Gander opened up churches, schools and even the beds in their own homes.Beulah Cooper was among those who stepped up to help."When there were 38 planes here I knew there was a big impact," she said.Cooper made trays of sandwiches for the "plane people" and brought travelers over to her home to sleep and shower."You just have to put yourself in their shoes, and that makes your heart even bigger," Cooper said.Among Cooper's guests were two New York natives, Dennis and Hannah O'Rourke. The couple was stranded in Gander dealing with the unimaginable — their son, a firefighter, was missing following the attack.As the hours went on, the O'Rourkes could not get in touch with their son, Kevin."He was off that day. He wasn't on duty that day, but she knew in her heart that he was there," Cooper said.Cooper looked after the O'Rourkes for five days before the couple was able to fly home. When they left, they still haven't heard from Kevin. It wasn't until the O'Rourkes got home that their fears were realized. Kevin had rushed to the World Trade Center and gave his life to save others."She called me on the phone and said, 'Beulah, he's gone.' She said they found his body under the stairwell," Cooper said. "That was hard. It was hard."Cooper still keeps in touch with the O'Rourkes and others she helped. So do many others in Gander, even 18 years later."The first day, we had 7,000 strangers. On the third day, we had 7,000 friends. And on the fifth day, we lost 7,000 family members," Elliott said. "That's how close we became to the people that were here. " 2692

House Democrats have released a trove of documents they obtained from a close associate of President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, including a handwritten note that mentions asking Ukraine's president to investigate "the Biden case." The documents were obtained as part of the impeachment investigation, and show Lev Parnas communicating with Giuliani and Republican attorney Robert Hyde about the removal of the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch. Parnas received messages from a man who appeared to be describing detailed surveillance of Yovanovitch while she was in Ukraine. In the 624
